Coffey Issues Statement on Budget Address
Springfield, IL…State Representative Mike Coffey (R-Springfield) released the following statement after Governor JB Pritzker delivered his annual State of the State and Budget Address to the General Assembly today:
“I’m disappointed the budget address highlighted another record-breaking budget that will increase spending, raise taxes, and make Illinois less affordable,” said Coffey. “This budget increases our spending nearly $1 billion and asks for more from Illinois taxpayers. Illinois families deserve an honest government that works to create a better future through strong public policy. I will stand firm in demanding a truly balanced budget without tax hikes or shady budget tricks and work to make Illinois a place where people can afford to live, work, and raise a family.”

Representative Mike Coffey serves the constituents of Illinois’ 95th House District that includes parts of Sangamon County, including portions of the City of Springfield and Villages of Chatham and Rochester as well as parts of Macon and Christian Counties.
