Illinois lawmakers have approved a 55.9 billion dollar state budget for the coming fiscal year, marking what Governor J.B. Pritzker says would be the state’s eighth consecutive balanced spending plan, according to Capitol News Illinois and WTTW News. The plan includes targeted tax relief for lower and middle income residents while raising some business tax credits and fees, a mix Republicans criticize as burdensome for employers, those outlets report. Legislative Democrats also advanced measures on ethics and election administration, while debate continues over how to address the state’s long-term pension obligations, according to the Chicago Tribune and Illinois Policy. On the local level, Chicago’s City Council is weighing follow-up ordinances to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s budget, including public safety investments and migrant shelter funding, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Community developments include ongoing debates over school funding and curriculum changes in large districts such as Chicago Public Schools and districts in the collar counties, reported by the Chicago Tribune. The Illinois Department of Transportation says major projects continue on key corridors including I-55 and I-80 to modernize bridges and reduce congestion, according to IDOT updates.
