SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Napoleon Harris III (D-Harvey) released the following statement Wednesday after the governor outlined his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026:

“Illinois families want to see their government run smoothly and provide resources to the members of our community who need them. I want to see investment in our community the same way we see investment across the rest of the state. The governor’s proposed budget is a good starting point and I am confident that we can pass a balanced budget that protects Illinois families, continuing our work in the coming months.”
