Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Tuesday the state is preparing to make budget cuts if Congress doesn’t pass another COVID-19 relief package. State lawmakers passed a budget in May that relies on uncertain federal bailout funds and is also dependent on voters passing a progressive income tax amendment in November.

The governor said he has instructed cabinet directors to prepare for cuts of at least 5 percent for the current fiscal year and to submit a 2022 spending outline with a 10 percent reduction in appropriations.
