State Representative Kevin Schmidt has expressed his dissatisfaction following Governor Pritzker’s approval of the FY26 budget for Illinois. The budget, amounting to $55.2 billion, has been described by Schmidt as being filled with “gimmicks, revenue sweeps and nearly $1 billion in tax hikes.” He voiced concerns that this financial plan could lead to increased financial challenges for working families in the state.
Schmidt stated, “I’m very disappointed in the Governor’s decision to sign the FY26 budget. This budget will lead to more financial burdens on working families who are struggling and does not reflect the needs of Illinois residents.”
