Illinois is tagged with more taxes when the governor had the opportunity to say no.

Illinois lawmakers’ late-night budget sets a new spending record financed by more tax hikes on the final day of legislative session.

They are signaling a willingness to raise taxes as the May 31 deadline quickly approaches.

Spending proposal features $1 billion in updated revenue assumptions, $589 million in tax and fee hikes and $139 million in fund sweeps.

Illinois state lawmakers’ spending plans came in $410 million higher than what Gov. J.B. Pritzker originally proposed. Taxpayers will be forced to pay $1.1 billion more so Illinois can spend record amounts in fiscal year 2025.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s record-setting $52.7 billion 2025 spending plan needs massive tax increases. Tax changes will hurt individuals, businesses and local governments.
