Meanwhile, State Senator Kyle McCarter says he’s in favor of the many of the things the Governor talked about during his budget address. But, he says what was said during the budget address doesn’t really line up with the “Grand Bargain” budget plan that is moving thru the Senate that the Governor supports.
Senator McCarter has been a vocal critic of the “Grand Bargain” budget plan—that has stalled in the Illinois Senate but is a plan that is mostly backed by Governor Rauner.
