Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed the 2023 budget on Tuesday and said the plan makes historic investments in education, healthcare and human services.
"Democrats have passed a responsible budget that allows us to provide $1.8 billion in tax relief, reducing property taxes, grocery taxes and sales taxes on back to school supplies along with holding the line on gas taxes and sending a check for hundreds of dollars to more than 90% of Illinois families," Pritzker said.Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin called Pritzker Illinois's "tax hiker in chief" while Jesse Sullivan criticized the governor's record of tax and fee hikes.
"It's election year gimmicks. What the truth of the matter is, he's raised over 24 tax and fee hikes on the people of Illinois, worth over $5 billion. Average families are paying over $2,000 more in taxes under JB Pritzker," Sullivan said.Trending
