(Springfield, IL) — The top Democrat in the Illinois Senate says he wants to work with Governor Bruce Rauner on a new state budget. But Senate President John Cullerton yesterday also said that he is prepared to work without the governor as well. Cullerton said that Illinois‘ top lawmakers haven’t met with the governor about the budget in more than a year. He said if the governor doesn’t want to work on a budget in the spring of 2018, then lawmakers will work around him.
