Gov. J.B. Pritzker to propose reversing tax changes agreed to with Republicans in 2019 budget deal

In addition to the tax changes, Pritzker’s plan calls for redirecting $565 million in dedicated revenue sources, such as cigarette taxes, to the state’s general fund, which pays for most day-to-day operations. Those changes would have to be approved in legislation separate from the state spending plan that lawmakers need to pass prior to May 31.
