SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Steve Landek (D-Bridgeview) provided the following statement after hearing the governor’s budget address Wednesday:

“This is a fiscally responsible budget plan that provides relief to working families and local governments alike. The COVID-19 pandemic brought forth two years of unfathomable financial hardships for people of all walks of life, and this budget recognizes that.”

“The budget address is the first step in the negotiation process. I will work to keep Illinois families first over the next several months.”
