Lawmakers have finalized a $53.1 billion budget, which includes tax increases, pay raises for politicians, and a billion dollars allocated for non-citizens. The budget has sparked controversy among various stakeholders.

Critics argue that the spending plan does not adequately address the needs of the general populace. One source commented, "This spending plan does not reflect the needs of the people we represent."

The budget's approval followed an extended session where lawmakers worked through the night to reach an agreement.
