After Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced the biggest infrastructure spending plan in state history, a transportation policy director says Illinois taxpayers are not getting great returns on their investments.
Days after ordering state agencies to identify budget efficiencies and reductions, the governor announced a record-high infrastructure spend of $50.6 billion over six years.
Baruch Feigenbaum, senior managing director of transportation policy for Reason Foundation, said the returns are not great for Illinois taxpayers.
All of the states bordering Illinois ranked higher, with Missouri coming in at #9 and Kentucky at #11.
