Governor Pritzker is touting his fifth balanced state budget during his administration. Pritzker signed the 50-billion-dollar Fiscal Year 2024 budget yesterday in Chicago. The spending plan includes investments in early childhood, K-12 schools, higher education, workforce and economic development and efforts to fight violence and poverty. It also contributes an additional 200-million-dollars to the state’s pension systems than what is required.
