Governor Pat Quinn is putting the finishing touches on his new state budget, which will be delivered to lawmakers on Wednesday as Quinn offers his annual budget address.
In addition to the state’s growing pension crisis and an increasing stack of unpaid bills, the governor also has to find funds to pay for the contract he negotiated with AFSCME last week… one that reportedly will hand out the pay raises that Quinn withheld two years ago because lawmakers did not approve enough money for them.
970 WMAY will have live coverage of the governor’s budget speech from the Capitol, Wednesday at noon.
