This years Illinois Budget Plan calls for a record spend of $53.3 billion dollars which is only balanced with a $1.2 Billion tax increase.
In addition, there are over $1 billion in budget gimmicks that are hiding the true cost of this budget in FY25 and going forward.
These gimmicks use surplus FY24 revenues to pay for projects/programs in FY25, or shift GRF costs to other state funds for FY25 only.
The graphic below is a recap on spending for illegal immigrants for this & 2 previous fiscal years.
