| Governor Rod R. Blagojevich's State of the State and Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Address
Finance
-- Pass a capital bill to fund necessary investments in aging infrastructure (bridges, roads, schools) and that puts people to work. (Proposing a multi-faceted approach that centers around private investment in the Lottery -- along with other funding mechanisms.) There are too many school children trying to learn their lessons in classrooms that are overcrowded, or going to school in buildings that are old and crumbling and not good places to learn. Let's build them good places to learn.
-- Cut spending by 3% across the board, in areas outside health care, education, and public safety. Also, cut more pork, consolidate more administrative functions and close unnecessary facilities.
