Rauner has outlined priorities including a balanced budget with no new taxes, and he wants lawmakers to set projections for how much money the state will take in. That's a significant departure from earlier in his term, when the governor would insist on a budget with "structural reforms" like a property tax freeze or term limits on politicians. Without those changes, lawmakers would just be "nibbling around the edges" of Illinois' massive financial problems, Rauner would say.
