Rauner budget would keep funding steady for more than a third of state agencies

Total proposed appropriations for more than one-third of state agencies – 37 departments out of nearly 100 – would change by 5 percent or less.

While a number of state agencies were in line for reductions in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s fiscal year 2016 budget proposal, many others received the same level of funding they had under the Quinn administration.

Total proposed appropriations for more than one-third of state agencies – 37 departments out of nearly 100 – would change by 5 percent or less. The resources budgeted for 14 of these agencies remained about the same as the previous year, while eight departmental budgets went up slightly and 15 others experienced slight decreases.
