Governor Pritzker says the state budget includes record investments in the children of Illinois. The spending plan, which goes into effect in July, includes 600 million dollars in college MAP grants and more money for homeless youth and after-school programs. There’s also additional funding for pre-school programs and to help teens find summer jobs.
