As the Democrats' self-imposed end-of-session deadline approaches, Republicans have yet to review the state budget. This week has been marked by extensive debates and committee meetings in the House, often extending late into the evening. The Illinois legislature is poised to pass what is expected to be the largest budget in the state's history, totaling $53 billion.

Despite the significant financial implications, few bills aimed at improving residents' quality of life have been passed. Legislators anticipate a busy weekend ahead as they work towards finalizing the budget.
