State Representative Brad Stephens

After adjourning after 4:00am Monday, there is a lot to unpack from the last day of our legislative session. That starts with the $55.9 billion budget.

Illinois families are looking for affordability, stability, and opportunity. They need a budget that helps keep costs down, strengthens local businesses, and supports economic growth. Instead, this budget relies on tax increases, gimmicks, and fund sweeps; it is out of touch with what our state truly needs.

This is my row on the House Floor; it's great to work alongside these folks in our fight to improve the state and make life better for Illinois families.

We will back at it at noon today.

We honored Memorial Day on the House Floor today with a ceremony that included the Reading of the Resolution of Honor, Roll Call of Fallen Soldiers, and a performance of Amazing Grace by two lawmakers.

Today's ceremony is an essential reminder of the Illinois service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.

As we get to work this final week of the spring legislative session, we remind Democrats that Illinois doesn't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. The tax, spend, repeat tactics of the past have pushed residents to the brink. It's time to rein it in and finally provide some relief for Illinois families.

GOP: IL Dems don’t have a revenue problem … - Capitol City Now ... they have a spending problem.
