Illinois legislators are set to receive yet another pay raise as part of the state’s massive $55.2 billion budget, the largest in Illinois history. The 3,300-page spending plan was filed late Friday, just a day before the vote deadline. The budget includes a $7,000 pay bump for lawmakers, pushing the total pay raise under Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration to more than $30,000 since he took office.
