Some Question Pritzker’s Tax ‘Veto’ Pledge, Say Trump Should Cut Funding

(The Center Square) – Illinois taxpayers still don’t know how much of their money will be spent by the state of Illinois next fiscal year or whether they’ll be charged higher taxes to pay for it. Saturday is the deadline for legislators to approve the annual spending plan that begins July 1. Wednesday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker explained what he would veto if it’s included. “I've been opposed to any taxes. They're broad based, or that would affect working families in this budget,” Pritzker told reporters.
