Governor Bruce Rauner says he’s extremely frustrated as the state heads into its tenth month without a state budget. With unpaid bills, social services cut and bad news about colleges and universities around the state, Rauner says he is very upset with the current situation. He blames the Democrats not moving forward with a budget.
House Speaker Michael Madigan has said several times that lawmakers could pass a budget if the Governor would lift some of his demands for reforms from the negotiation process.
