Murphy: FY 27 budget makes responsible spending decisions
- Details
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Laura Murphy (D-Des Plaines) issued the following statement after the Senate passed the Fiscal Year 2027 budget:
“When federal funding cuts create instability in the programs that hardworking Illinois families rely on the most, it is the job of the state to step up and make responsible financial decisions, while maintaining a balanced budget. This budget protects the priorities of our residents and ensures funding for our schools, community colleges and childcare. Additionally, it reinforces funding for public transit and public safety without creating any new taxes on working families. We recognize the need to have budgetary restraint during these uncertain times.
