“A budget address is another reflection of Governor Pritzker’s commitment to Illinois - more taxes, more fees, and more mandates,” said Schmidt. “The taxpayers of Illinois deserve a truly balanced budget that does not include tax hikes, wasteful spending, or budget gimmicks. Illinoisans are ready for a transparent government that holds politicians accountable and protects taxpayer dollars from being wasted on Democrat pork projects. Unfortunately, the Governor's proposed budget misses the mark."

Representative Kevin Schmidt represents the 114th District, which includes a portion of St. Clair County.
