Illinois State Representative Weaver has proposed that the state adopt a zero-based budgeting approach for its agencies. This method requires each department to justify all expenses for every new period, starting from a "zero base," rather than basing budgets on prior spending levels.
Rep. Weaver expressed concerns about the current financial management, stating, "We have to get spending under control and eliminate any new taxes." He believes this approach could help in managing the state's expenditures more effectively.
Details of the state budget are still pending, but Rep. Weaver's suggestion indicates a push towards more stringent fiscal policies. The report from WEEK 25 News is referenced for further insights into this proposal.
