(Springfield, IL) — Mike Madigan and his Democrats may not offer a budget proposal this year. House Democrats over the weekend, instead, started examining the budget from Democrats in the Illinois Senate. That plan raises taxes by five billion-dollars, but doesn’t deal with Illinois’ nearly 14 billion-dollars in unpaid bills. Lawmakers are supposed to have a budget agreement by Wednesday.
