Rauner Still Not Ready for A Special Session

Another week goes by with the Illinois House cancelling a session and skipping a day that could have been used to take a vote on proposed budgets or a new one. Governor Bruce Rauner could make those lawmakers return to Springfield by calling a special session. It’s something he says that he’d rather not have to do. 



This marks the third week in a row that House Speaker Mike Madigan has cancelled a session of the Illinois House. The Speaker says he keeps cancelling the sessions so bipartisan working groups can continue the effort designed to find compromise on the budget and turn around agenda items. 





Governor Bruce Rauner could force lawmakers back with a special session but he’s been hesitant to do so, saying they never seem to accomplish much. But there are just 9 days left to pass a budget for the fiscal year that starts on July 1.
