Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s latest state budget proposal will aim to ease the “pinch of inflation” for Illinois residents by providing almost $1 billion in tax cuts, freezes and rebates while maintaining “fiscal sanity and discipline,” his top aides say.
The Democratic governor’s election-year spending plan, scheduled to be unveiled this week, promises to hold the line on the state income tax while providing relief in the grocery store, at the gas pump and on property tax bills, according to a budget preview from Pritzker’s office.
