Added $700 million of pension stabilization investments to the state’s pension systems over and beyond what is required.
Created and funded the state’s Rainy Day Fund that holds $2.1 billion as of July 1, 2024.
Enacted balanced budgets every year and received credit upgrades for the first time in two decades, lowering interest rates and improving Illinois’ finances.
Paid down state’s bill backlog and eliminated late bill payment, saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in interest.
Reformed police and firefighter pension funds to increase assets and reduce the burden on property taxpayers.
