House Republicans have proposed two bills in the Illinois House, both of which are stopgap, fully funded bills to provide stability for critical Illinois services. House Representative Avery Bourne (R-Raymond) and her colleagues are calling on a vote on the legislation. Bourne spoke with Regional Radio News Recently and shared some details on what the two bills would fund.

These proposed budgets are both fully funded budgets, actually identifying sources of revenue to pay for its spending. Bourne spoke on how she believes this is the way you handle government finances, and how the state shouldn’t be writing anymore IOUs.

One obstacle for the proposed bills is the fact that so far every scheduled session of the house legislature has been cancelled by House Speaker Madigan. Bourne commented saying how it’s troubling how the state legislature hasn’t been meeting, saying how if nothing gets done on the budget issue, she expects frustrations to continue to grow.
