Lilly Pledges Bipartisanship to Solve Illinois’ Financial Woes After Pritzker’s Budget Address

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Following Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s annual budget address to the Illinois General Assembly, state Rep. Camille Y. Lilly, D-Chicago, issued a statement on her priorities for the remainder of this session: 

“Illinois faces many challenges as a result of Governor Rauner’s disastrous administration. While there is a lot of work to be done, Governor Pritzker’s speech made it clear we now have a governor who is ready to work with us to address these challenges. The governor’s priorities reflect many of my own commitments, including adequate funding for our schools, investing in safer communities and rebuilding services for those in great need, which were decimated by the past administration at crisis levels. I look forward to working with the governor and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address the major challenges we face, and pass a responsible budget that reflects the values of our community, the people.”
