Budget talks continue at the Capitol but there’s still no agreement on how much money the state has to spend in the next fiscal year. House Republican Leader Jim Durkin says they need that number to prevent excessive spending.

Governor Bruce Rauner reiterated that talks are moving along slower than he’d like but that budget meetings will continue in hopes of getting something done by the end of the month.
