State Representative Charlie Meier (R-Highland) released the statement below following Governor Rauner’s annual budget address before the General Assembly:
“I agree with Governor Rauner when he said we must ‘think anew and act anew’. It’s time to look forward instead of what’s behind us. We have an opportunity today to fix our broken state by growing our economy, paying down our debt and passing a balanced budget. We must work together. If so, we can move Illinois forward.”
