We hear again today from State Senator Kyle McCarter on the budget deal being discussed in the Illinois Senate, referred to as the “Grand Bargain.” McCarter is not a fan of the plan, and he says he finds it very ironic that we now have a President pushing pro-business reform, while the state talks about it but proposed reforms McCarter says would have the opposite effect.
And, Senator McCarter says he does want to hear the opinion of his constituents on this budget deal.
The Illinois House and Senate will return to Springfield next week, when it is expected a vote will take place in the Senate on the “Grand Bargain” plan.
