Wake Up TriCounties State Senator Win Stoller

State Senator Win Stoller was our guest on Wake Up Tri-Counties to offer his reaction to the recently signed Illinois budget. State Senator Stoller tells WKEI that the budget was delivered late at night and with little time for lawmakers to review the budget before having to vote on it. State Senator Stoller is proposing a bill that would require lawmakers get at least two weeks to review a budget bill before it can be voted on. State Senator Stoller also discussed elements of the recently passed Illinois budget which includes what is being billed as a reduction in the gas tax but what is in reality a delay in the raising of gas taxes by 2.6 cents per gallon. The rise in the gas tax will now occur six months later than it was first intended to go into effect.
