State Sen. Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) said he doesn't think lawmakers should be asking taxpayers for more money.
McConchie called Gov. J.B. Pritzker's budget proposal a non-starter.
"What I learned today is the path to rainbows and unicorns runs through yet another tax increase," McConchie said. "What I heard from the governor is that we need to spend more money and, unfortunately, he was setting up the budget in a manner that requires yet another tax increase to be balanced."
McConchie said the state needs to be responsible.
"We need to do the job responsibly that the people called us to do and not yet again reach into taxpayers' pockets," McConchie said.
