State Budgeet Proposals

Though he doesn't have a chance of winning, Rich Whitney is the only candidate to have actually proposed a budget that will close the $13 billion budget gap Illinois faces. Unless you really believe there is $13 billion worth of fraud and waste in the budget, cutting the budget isn't going to do it. Brady's plan is pretty non-specific. His proposal to cut the budget by 10% would produce about $3 billion (assuming it gets thorough the legislature), leaving the state still short by $10 billion and Quinn's website doesn't address budget issues much. The closest I could find was this.
