The Illinois legislature has gone home due to the winter storm, but Governor JB Pritzker will be giving his annual budget address live at the Old State Capitol on Wednesday.
The Governor won’t have a live audience for his combined State of the State and Budget Address, but he’s excited to put forth his proposals for the new fiscal year as scheduled. They include nearly one billion dollars in tax relief for Illinoisans.
“Because we have seen inflation flare-up and because people are suffering the consequences of higher prices, I thought it was important to find different ways we could lower prices of all kinds of goods including gas, groceries, and property taxes,” said Pritzker.
You can watch the address online at noon at Illinois.gov/livevideo.
