A measure that would give $1,000 in monthly guaranteed taxpayer funded subsidies to certain individuals, regardless of immigration status, could be coming down the pike.
An Illinois Senate appropriations committee Wednesday heard about Senate Bill 3462 from state Sen. Ram Villivalam. He couldn’t say how much the plan would cost taxpayers.
Mike Buehler, who is the McHenry County Board chairman, said in his opinion it’s irresponsible to discuss such a program without knowing how much it will cost taxpayers. He also said there could be unintended consequences, like reducing work productivity and more.
The measure remains in committee.
