The State Senate meets on the third floor of the north side of the Illinois State Capitol.

Here’s her presentation of the Senate Republican position on this year’s state budget:

“State Sen. Pam Althoff (R-McHenry) said it’s a Republican principle to not spend more than is expected to come in during the fiscal year the tax increase expires, which is partially why she and her Republican colleagues voted against it.

“’What we see before us now makes the support (of this proposal) impossible, as we cannot meet that principle,’ she says.”

She was quoted in a WBBM-TV story.
