Springfield…State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) issued the following statement after Governor Pritzker signed Illinois’ so-called balanced budget:
“I’m very disappointed in the Governor’s decision to sign the FY26 budget. The record-breaking $55.2 billion budget that’s filled with gimmicks, revenue sweeps and nearly $1 billion in tax hikes sets Illinois up for failure in FY27. This budget will lead to more financial burdens on working families who are struggling and does not reflect the needs of Illinois residents.”

Representative Kevin Schmidt represents the 114th District, which includes a portion of St. Clair County.
