A fierce partisan divide has erupted following JB Pritzker’s State of the State and eighth budget address in Illinois. Democrats, led by Lisa Hernandez, applauded the governor’s “roadmap” focused on fiscal discipline, housing affordability, energy cost reductions, and civil rights protections — while criticizing actions by Donald Trump and federal Republicans.
Meanwhile, Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi slammed the proposal as “empty promises,” accusing Pritzker of overspending, raising taxes, and prioritizing political ambitions over working families. The sharp split underscores deep political tensions in the state as budget debates intensify and national politics collide with local governance.
