Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker put out his budget projections for the next five years, painting a positive picture. Bishop On Air gets reaction from Truth in Accounting's Sheila Weinberg.

John Hancock joins Brian Kelly discussing the war in Ukraine and if the new Illinois budget should go toward teacher salaries.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's budget proposal likely will be a key plank of his re-election platform. Not only does it contain goodies for everyday Illinoisans – a property tax rebate for roughly 2 million people, plus a one-year break on grocery and gas taxes – the governor says it demonstrates he's made good on a pledge to dig the state out of the financial morass of the budget impasse during Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's administration. Here to analyze that budget is Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a government watchdog group founded by the Commercial Club of Chicago. Msall worked for Governors Jim Thompson and George Ryan on economic development issues, and has deepened his knowledge during his time at the Civic Federation. Republicans in the general assembly and the gubernatorial primary say the governor's proposal is an election year gimmick that doesn't fix the state's structural issues. Msall agrees, but only in part. There are goodies, yes, but he gives the proposal good grades on addressing the state's bill backlog, pensions, rainy day fund, and likely, its unemployment insurance fund. But there are warnings: the state needs more transparency around its infrastructure plans; the budget doesn't restart a stalled conversation on larger property tax reform; and there might be challenges in getting this budget through a general assembly who might be eager to spend, rather than stowing money away.

Guest: Adam Schuster

Written by David E. Smith A few weeks ago, I was privileged to give the Father’s Day sermon at my church, and since we captured the audio, I thought we could post it as a special addition for those who may be interested. The Lord laid on my heart a strong conviction that I had to share with my church family, and by extension, with Illinois Spotlight listeners. It is a message pertinent for us all, but is primarily directed at fathers and grandfathers.… Continue Reading

If you're frustrated with the folks in Springfield, this election season might not be the stress relief you're looking for.

The 2016 spring legislative session ended just as the did the 2015 session: with no state budget. Now the governor and his Democratic counterparts in the General Assembly are talking about an emergency, stopgap plan that would let state government limp through the end of the calendar year. Are we ever going to see a real, balanced state budget? That's our topic on this week's "Only in Illinois."

With less than a week before a budget is due, the Illinois General Assembly displayed a rancorous public face while calmer heads prevailed behind the scenes.

We recently spoke with Illinois Senator Daniel Biss (9th) about the Illinois Budget Impasse. A member of the Human Services Committee, Senator Biss offered unique insights into how the budget crisis is directly affecting the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors in Illinois. We asked Biss if we should be worried about the trajectory of the relationship between the state and the nonprofit sector, whether this impasse will cost taxpayers more in the long run, and what the role of philanthropy shoud be in all this.

With a state budget due in less than three weeks, school funding could be the issue that breaks or prolongs the Illinois budget impasse.

This week's "Only in Illinois" contains highlights from the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce town hall on the Illinois budget crisis and its effect on business, colleges and non-profits in south suburban Chicagoland.

The week of April 11 started with a flash of optimism that we might see progress on the Illinois budget impasse. By Tuesday afternoon, the optimism faded as House Speaker Michael Madigan blasted Gov. Bruce Rauner's "personal agenda" in a speech on the Illinois House Floor. That's the topic on this week's "Only in Illinois."

The answers are crazy. We’ll have fun looking. But you’ll probably be pretty mad by the end. Things are worse than you thought. The bad news: We’re paying out billions more than we take in. Just without setting priorities.The state comptroller — who makes the payments — calls it “ad hoc” and “ridiculous.”The worse news: We’re still letting billions of dollars in services go totally unfunded.And: We’re breaking the non-profits that provide those services. Full story, complete with charts.

The Illinois budget crisis now is in its tenth month, but the feared "government shutdown" it was supposed to bring never really materialized. That's because a circuit court judge's ruling last July ensured that state employees would be paid even if there was no budget in place authorizing their pay -- as required by the state constitution. Now, however, a state supreme court decision says the opposite, and could open the door to a lawsuit that would halt state worker pay and launch a true shutdown of state government. That likely would create such intense public pressure that Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative Democrats would swiftly find a way to get a budget done. But will Attorney General Lisa Madigan pursue such a lawsuit and endure the ire of state employees and the public? Meanwhile, Rauner has changed his message on the budget in a significant way. That's our topic on this week's "Only in Illinois."

The Illinois budget impasse is now nine months old and there's no sign of progress. But one reason the stalemate has dragged out so long is that Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the one part of the state budget that funded elementary and high schools. Combined with state employees being paid thanks to a court order, the school funding bill meant that government functioned fairly normally and without disruption for most Illinoisans. But this school year is almost over and Rauner and lawmakers soon must deal with a budget for FY 2017. Will Democrats again hand Rauner a K-12 funding bill so schools will open on time for the 2016-2017 school year? Will higher education funding get settled as high school seniors in the next month try to make plans for college and financial aid? Those are our topics on this week's "Only in Illinois."

The state of Illinois  has been without a FY 2016 budget for nearly 4 months. While the Governor and Legislative Leaders have agreed to meet to begin to discuss a budget, significant damage has been done to local communities, clients and social service agencies.  Hundreds of thousands of  youth, elderly, people with disabilities, working poor—and the people who serve them—have been impacted by the cuts. Some social service agencies have cut programs and services while the need for the services have grown.  Some private foundations have stepped in to try to fill the gaps by providing general operating support and other assistance.  Even so, many agencies will have to close their doors and the people with the greatest needs will suffer more.  Who will take care of the “Least of These”?

This week the show kicks off with Mike and Trey talking about the July 4th North Korean Missile Test. The launch is important because it marks the first intercontinental ballistic missile successfully launched by North Korea and Kim Jung Un. Both Mike and Trey agree there are no great options, but that the options that do exist should rule military intervention off the table. Next Mike and Trey examine the recently concluded G20 summit. The two major points of interest are Trump's meeting with Putin and the response to the U.S. Exiting the Paris agreement. Mike and Trey also briefly look at Trump's proposal to create an “impenetrable Cyber Security unit” with Russia. After that, the Guys move on to the CNN / Trump feud. Both Trey and Mike agree that the item is mainly non-news, but that it represents a larger shift in political communication. The real story is the change to the news media and to the way politicians disseminate information. In short, Trump might be right that Tweeting is the “modern day presidential” thing to do, even if the Guys worry about the longer term effects. Finally the Guys examine the Illinois budget. The budget, which just passed after two years, brought a bit of disagreement between Mike and Trey. Mike arguing that states have a moral obligation to the poor and Trey arguing that lower taxes must be coupled with lower spending across the board.
