Require a "real" balanced budget be approved

*Require the State to establish a single, updated, searchable database website accessible to the public at no cost that includes each entity that receives Illinois funding.
*Provide "sunshine" to the budgeting process by requiring defined, minimum time periods a budget bill must be made available for inspection and scrutiny by legislators, the public, and the media.
