DeLuca Underscores Need to Respect Taxpayers in Response to Governor’s Budget Address

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Anthony DeLuca, D-Chicago Heights, issued the following statement Wednesday after Gov. J.B. Pritzker gave his annual budget address:

“As we begin the budgeting process, it’s critical that we prioritize a responsible plan that respects taxpayers, supports our law enforcement and invests in our schools. We must take a balanced approach that listens to our area’s residents and understands the challenges facing working families today. I will also continue to advocate for the restoration of the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF), so our municipal governments and police and fire departments have the necessary resources to provide responsive and professional services. I look forward to the budget conversations ahead.”
