Compromises are rarely perfect, and this is no exception, but easing the harmful impact of sequestration on our region was critical. Our economy should also not have to suffer at the hands of another government shutdown and today’s budget will create more certainty for expected funding that impacts jobs in communities across Illinois. I’ll continue to work with both Democrats and Republicans who share my commitment to working together to find common sense solutions to our nation’s problems that place the needs of our constituents ahead of politics.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
