>>> IN SOME WAYS ILLINOIS IS INFAMOUS.

THE STATE'S GOT A BAD REPUTATION FOR CORRUPTION AND LYRICAL MALFEASANCE.

BUT BACKERS OF A NEW STATE BUDGET SAY THEY'RE TURNING AROUND.

OTHERS DISAGREE.

NOW, MORE OF WHAT'S IN AND WHAT IS NOT IN THE STATE'S NEW SPENDING PLAN.

>> MOST FOLKS AT LEAST HOPEFULLY BEGINNING TO ENJOY THE SUNNY AND GORGEOUS HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

MEMBERS OF THE ILLINOIS HOUSE ARE STILL AT IT AND EVEN IF THE LEGISLATURE DECIDES TO MEET UNTIL 2:30 IN THE MORNING, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET WHAT THEY DID GO IGNORED.

YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT THE PRICE OF A NEW CAR TITLE WILL BE GOING UP BY 10 BUCKS.

THAT MEANS COME JULY IT COSTS $165 TO GET A TITLE.

THAT MONEY IS GOING TO UPDATING STATE TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT FOUND IT TO BE VERY OUTDATED.

OF COURSE THAT'S JUST AN ITTY-BITTY PART OF THE $50 BILLION SPENDING PLAN APPROVED BY LAWMAKERS.

GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER HAS ALREADY SAID HE'S ON BOARD WITH IT AND IS PLANNING TO SIGN IT IN TIME FOR IT TO TAKE EFFECT JULY 1st.

DEMOCRATS WHO DRAFTED THE BUDGET SAY IT'S RESPONSIBLE AND COMPASSIONATE EVEN IF IT DOESN'T DO EVERYTHING THEY WANTED.

>> NO ONE IN HERE, NO ONE IN COMMUNITIES IS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING THEY ASK FOR, BECAUSE WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE IS ASKING.

THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ENGAGING IN, WE BELIEVE WE CAN SUSTAIN OVER TIME.

>> A FEW DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST IT, AS DID EVERY REPUBLICAN.

ONE FRESHMAN LAWMAKER WHOSE A FORMER MAYOR AND COMPANY CFO SAYS WATCHING HOW THE $50 BILLION PLAN WAS PUT TOGETHER WAS BOTH ENLIGHTENING AND FRIGHTENING.

OTHERS COMPLAINED THE GOP WAS LEFT OUT.

>> THERE'S MORE HIDING, SHIFTING, OBFUSCATION OF STUFF, I'LL CALL IT, IN THIS BILL THAT WOULD MAKE A THREE CARD MONTE DEALER BLUSH.

>> BESIDES THIS FEE, ANY OTHER TAX INCREASES?

>> NO, AT LEAST NOT THAT I FOUND AS I'M BEGINNING TO SCOUR THROUGH THIS 20,000 SOMETHING PAGE DOCUMENT.

LAWMAKERS DID COMMENT THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE NO GIMMICKS.

AGAIN HERE, REPUBLICANS SAY THERE ARE SOME, LIKE LEGISLATORS WHOSE SALARIES WILL REACH NEARLY $90,000 OF BASE PAY.

THAT'S A BUMP OF 5%.

MORE THAN THE 5% THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ALLOWED BY LAW.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE IN THE RANK AND FILE.

ALSO THE PLAN RELIES ON GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER TO PASS SPENDING ON A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM FOR UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS, SOMETHING THAT POTENTIALLY GIVEN HIS POTENTIAL FUTURE POLITICAL AMBITIONS, LAWMAKERS ARE SKEPTICAL IT'S EASY TO DO .

THEN WE'VE GOT THE PROSPECT OF A RECESSION LOOMING.

SO REPUBLICANS SAY THIS BUDGET IS TOO TIGHT AND THAT IT WASTES MONEY ON PORK PROJECTS THAT WERE GIVEN AS ENTICEMENTS FOR VOTES.

IT'S GOT BACKERS SAYING THERE IS A LOT TO CELEBRATE IN THE BUDGET.

INSTEAD THEY SAY -- >> IF YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR A CREDIT UPGRADE FOR THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, VOTE AYE.

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE TO FUND THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN IN YOUR DISTRICT, VOTE AYE.

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE TO FUND THE CITIES, TOWNS, AND VILLAGES IN YOUR DISTRICT, VOTE AYE.

>> AS SHE ALLUDED TO THERE, YOU'VE GOT INCREASES GOING TO EDUCATION, TO PREVENT VIOLENCE PROGRAMS, AND THERE ARE ALSO MILLIONS TO HELP ASYLUM-SEEKERS.

WITH THE BUDGET TAKEN CARE OF, THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ADJOURNED UNTIL FALL BUT SOME LAWMAKERS SAY THERE IS STILL UNFINISHED AS MS. REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE RYAN FAIN SAYS AFTER THAT COMMENT REVOLVING AROUND FORMER SPEAKER MICHAEL MADIGAN, IT'S CRAZY ACTION WASN'T TAKEN ON ETHICS.

>> IT IS SAID THAT BUDGETS REFLECT OUR PRIORITIES AND BOY, I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE IT THAT WE DON'T, ALL OF US, PLACE A PRIORITY ON CLEANING UP THE CORRUPTION THAT HAS BEEN SUCH A DEEP SEAM ON THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

>> ALSO , BRANDIS, YOU HAVE NO MOVEMENT ON THE TROUBLED MARIJUANA MARKET IN ILLINOIS.
