As lawmakers return to the Capitol January 28 for the first time since the January 8 Inauguration of the 104th General Assembly, Senator Dale Fowler is calling on his legislative colleagues to advance a bipartisan agenda that prioritizes fiscal responsibility, public safety, and support for struggling Illinois families.
The start of the new General Assembly and the second term of President Donald Trump provides an opportunity to move past political divisions and focus on delivering meaningful solutions to the challenges facing Illinois. Senator Fowler says he is concerned that the Pritzker Administration’s confrontational approach toward the federal administration could risk jeopardizing critical federal funding that has supported the Governor’s record-setting budgets.
As lawmakers work to address the state’s projected $3 billion budget deficit, Senator Fowler says that bipartisan cooperation will be essential to ensure that policies are put in place that foster prosperity for Illinois families, promote economic growth, and enhance public safety.
