Illinois lawmakers passed a budget amidst uncertainty over federal funds.

Illinois lawmakers approved a $55 billion spending plan for the new fiscal year starting on July 1, despite uncertainty about federal funding. The budget cuts $380 million from current spending and was just passed before the May 31 deadline. Republicans criticized the last-minute move and opposed any tax increases. Governor J.B. Pritzker referred to the budget as his seventh consecutive balanced budget, warning of potential funding cuts from Washington and emphasizing the state's progress in fiscal health.
