State Representative Nicole La Ha released the following statement today on the final scheduled day of the Spring Legislative Session:
“It’s the final scheduled day of session.
After months of committee hearings, floor debates, and countless conversations with constituents, everything comes down to today. We begin at 9:00 a.m. and will be voting on the remaining legislation of the spring before turning our attention to the state budget.
The budget has now been posted, but the process remains far too closed off. Every representative deserves the opportunity to offer input on a budget that directly impacts the people they were elected to represent. The best solutions come from open discussion and collaboration instead of decisions made behind closed doors.
Illinois families deserve transparency. They deserve a government that respects their tax dollars and focuses on the challenges they’re facing every day, from rising property taxes to the increasing cost of living.
I’ll be on the House Floor all day fighting for those priorities and keeping you updated along the way.
Follow the action live at ILGA.gov.“
Rep. Nicole La Ha proudly serves the people of the 82nd District.
