Editorial on Illinois budget and the budgetary commission
The Illinois Budgetary Commission shows its limits as a small staff screens vast requests while the state moves toward an executive budget. Governor Ogilvie’s plan to withhold the budget until April 1 sparks protest from Rep. Elward and invites a broader reallocation of the commission’s role. The piece argues for legislative access, earlier release, and a clear division of responsibilities.
