After weeks of negotiations and meetings with Senators from both sides of the politcal aisle, final touches are being added to a financial frame work addressing Illinois’s two year budget stalemate and fiscal crisis. State Senator Kyle McCarter says the Taxpayer Bargain Budget plan is being finalized now. An announcement is being planned for Tuesday, April 4th.
McCarter says given the state’s growing fiscal crisis, it’s time for legislators to meet their constitutional duty and act in a fiscally responsible way.
