He cites a study showing aid payments to Illinois residents and presses for public aid relief through employment discrimination elimination and skills training. He warns of a multi million dollar capital budget and proposes a capital budget planning board to oversee highways, hospitals, education, and facilities, plus raising pension fund solvency and unclaimed deposits gifting up to 100 million to the state treasury. He supports higher education planning to unify master plans across universities and curb rising costs, while backing bills to raise wage garnishment exemptions and protect buyers from repossession.
