House panel backs federal funding plan amid Rauner protest
Illinois lawmakers advance a $5 billion federal funding plan to cover social services and energy aid amid a budget stalemate. Gov. Rauner signals likely veto as Democrats add $1.4 billion in state spending, including $750 million in authority, risking a poison pill. If approved, the measure would unlock about $4.8 billion in Washington funds for child care, emergency aid, and aid to the working poor, with a floor vote expected.
