Whom do you believe?

On June 7, The Daily Herald’s guest columnist from a fiscal policy think tank wrote that Illinois' FY 2025 budget "is funded responsibly." A day later, you printed an opinion of the Chicago Tribune which stated that, in the budget following this one, "cuts will be necessary to avoid the kinds of tax increases that hit more broadly than this year's collection."

Businesses and people who evacuate, I think, would tend to agree with the Tribune.
