Just now, the House of Representatives passed the FY27 budget. The budget spends a record $55.9 billion, balanced by an increase of $800 million in new taxes and fees. The budget passed on a partisan vote, with all Republicans opposing the measure.

“While Democrats continue their tax-and-spend cycle, they consciously choose to not advance measures focused on providing affordability for working families. House Republicans have filed bills that would suspend the gas sales tax, give meaningful property tax relief and reform, not impose taxes on tips, and many others. Unfortunately, those measures were never given serious consideration.”

“Illinois families deserve a government that lives within its means just as they do. Instead of delivering affordability, this budget continues the same tax-and-spend approach that has made Illinois less affordable for working families. I voted no because taxpayers deserve better,” concluded Schweizer.

My resolution, HR 864 passed the House of Representatives, officially marking June 2026 as Fallen Heroes Month. The resolution honors the service and sacrifice of fallen heroes across the state of Illinois.

In attendance at the adoption of the resolution were guests from the McCarthy Brigade, a volunteer-based group in Chicago that is dedicated to honoring 9/11 victims, veterans, and first responders. The group also works closely with Gold Star Families.

As we continue through the final week of the Spring Legislative Session, we have yet to see the budget in its final form. This means that the Majority Party will, yet again, either choose to cloud transparency by gutting and replacing existing bills or use their supermajority to vote to break their own Constitutional requirements for the Three Readings Rule.

This is not how government is supposed to operate. We need to be firm in providing accountability, transparency, and affordability for Illinoisans.

May we never forget the reason for the Memorial Day holiday. Today, we honor all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can be free. We may not know them all, but we owe them all.
