Gov. JB Pritzker said he doesn’t want to raise taxes, regardless of if the legislature were to move forward with a plan to give CPS funds they assumed in their budget. “I'm not going to raise taxes on working families. That is a principle I will not breach. But I think that there are perhaps other things that the speaker has in mind,” Pritzker said.
