JB Pritzker will present his seventh budget proposal Wednesday as the state faces a projected $3.2 billion revenue shortfall for fiscal year 2026, which begins July 1. Federal pandemic aid has all been allocated and the economy has slowed, leaving tax revenue projections relatively flat for the coming years. On […]

Mendoza urges automatic payments into ‘rainy day fund’

State’s financial cushion was exhausted during budget impasse

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) – Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is pushing legislation that would require the state to make automatic deposits into its so-called “rainy day fund” whenever certain financial conditions are met.
