BLOOMINGTON – Illinois lawmakers continue to meet virtually due to COVID-19.
The House and Senate have cancelled almost all of their January session days, but committees are able to meet virtually.
State Rep. Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) says there is a lot to accomplish, which includes a balanced state budget. He spoke with WJBC’s Todd Wineburner.
“My feeling is we are probably going to push aside what would be normally individual legislation by legislators, probably to a major degree, and focus in on the budget itself,” said Brady.
Gov. JB Pritzker is scheduled to deliver his budget address on Feb. 2.
Brady says some other keys areas this session include crime and the rise in violence across the state, ethics reforms, and new policies to help grow jobs.
