Governor Takes Bill Action
Press Release
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Governor Bruce Rauner signed SB 2059 today and issued the following statement:
"This legislation doesn't solve our budget crisis or help our economy grow, but it does represent a first step toward compromise between Democrats and Republicans. Now is the time to build on this bipartisan momentum and focus on enacting a truly balanced budget for Fiscal Years 2016-2017 alongside meaningful reforms that create jobs and free up resources for education, social services and infrastructure."
