[Illinois Policy @illinoispolicy]

Lawmakers in Springfield passed a record-setting $55.9 billion state budget at 4:13 a.m. on the final day of the legislative session. Instead of passing structural spending reforms, they predictably relied on the usual combination of massive tax hikes, budgetary gimmicks, and, of course, a pay raise for themselves.

Here is what is included in @GovPritzker's new budget:

>A $300 million corporate tax hike created by capping net-operating-loss deductions. This limits a business's carryover deduction and punishes companies trying to recover.

>A new fee on social media companies. This burden will ultimately be passed on to Illinois users in the form of higher prices.

>A controversial 10% digital ad tax targeting "targeted advertising services." This tax could cost businesses up to $800 million.

$185 million in fund sweeps. This includes draining $150 million from the Road Fund just to cover general spending operations.

Meanwhile, the state's biggest financial crisis--$144 billion in pension debt--continues to be ignored, as the state is shorting its necessary pension contribution by over $5 billion this year alone.

We quite literally cannot afford this.

Not every football path is linear, but Garret Wilson found the right one at North Central. 🏈

After leading the NCC to the Stagg Bowl, Wilson shares why Division III football, team culture and brotherhood made Naperville feel like home.
