概要

 Illinois joins other Democrat-led states in suing the Trump administration to halt planned cuts of over $600 million in public health grants, according to WTTW News, while the Illinois Department of Public Health reports a separate $100 million slash to local programs. The 2026 Spring Legislative Session kicked off in January with the Senate convening first, focusing on organization ahead of the February 6 bill filing deadline, as detailed by NASW-IL. Notable early bills include the Holistic Overdose Prevention and Equity Act and measures updating inclusive language for persons with disabilities.

In business news, Governor Pritzker announced Tangent Technologies will invest $50 million in sustainable lumber manufacturing, creating 110 jobs in Montgomery, per the Illinois government press release. However, the Illinois Policy Institute criticizes $45 million in state grants to select chambers of commerce like the Hispanic Chamber of Illinois, calling it taxpayer-subsidized pork amid 2,815 rushed budget earmarks. The Chicago metro area eyes growth as a data center hub with 22 new projects planned, though some face local opposition, reports the National Law Review.

Community efforts advance with U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky securing $12.5 million for 15 projects in the 9th District, funding bridge replacements, school improvements, police social work programs, and water resiliency like PFAS mitigation in Cary. The Illinois Department of Agriculture plans $3.6 million in grants for local food infrastructure starting February 18. No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead: Governor Pritzker delivers his State of the State and Budget Address on February 18, setting priorities amid a $140 billion pension deficit and election-year debates, with both legislative chambers in session that week.
