State Senator Win Stoller has issued a statement following the passage of the state budget.

"This budget fails to address the real needs of our hardworking residents across the state by imposing unwarranted tax hikes and crippling financial burdens on businesses and families alike," said Senator Stoller. "We warned the Governor that the federal COVID funds would eventually run out, leaving our residents to bear the cost of his reckless spending. Now, while taxpaying citizens struggle to receive the vital services they need, we are forced to cover a billion-dollar bill for illegal citizens to access better medical care than what is available to many Illinoisans. This is not only wrong but a disgrace to the people who call Illinois home."
