The House is anticipated to address the Democrats' budget tonight, likely during the overnight hours. This budget represents the largest partisan spending plan in state history and includes pay increases for politicians, tax hikes on Illinois residents, and hundreds of millions more in spending for non-citizens.

"This is not the responsible state budget that the people of Illinois deserve," stated a critic of the plan.

The new $53.1 billion budget recently passed by the Senate eliminates the grocery tax, adds a child tax credit, and allocates funding for migrants.
