Its a big day in Springfield today as Governor Pat Quinn will roll out the budget for 2014 and massive cuts are expected across the board.
Illinois has $96 billion dollars in underfunded pension and cuts in education and state run programs are expected to come as well.
"We need to do some refinancing, we need to make sure that we take the excesses out of the system at the top level and not the folks at the bottom level because there are a lot of cases where you have teachers that not only don't have social security, but they don't have any medicare as well and people don't know that," State Senator Dave Koehler said.
