SPRINGFIELD – After the governor’s budget proposal, State Senator Laura Fine (D-Glenview) released the following statement:

“The Trump Administration has targeted Illinois time and again, threatening to withhold essential funding for services our communities need. Whether this is funding for public health grants, energy projects or health care – every corner of our lives is under attack.

“Today it became even more clear that Illinois won’t back down. We are prioritizing opportunities for our youth, ensuring working-class families aren’t struggling to make ends meet, and investing into the future of our communities so businesses and neighbors can thrive.

“I will continue to fight for a budget that ensures everyone has access to resources and services they need.”
