Illinois Democrats propose a one month spending plan to avert a shutdown and fund police, Medicaid, child care and other services. Gov. Rauner calls the memo labeling the plan unconstitutional as it would overspend by about 4 billion if applied for a full year, signaling likely GOP opposition. House Speaker Michael Madigan says the short term fix would cover essential services for one month, including state police protection and health coverage.

They nest late June, travel about 200 meters, and face habitat fragmentation and road dangers. Conservation notes urge guiding turtles in their original direction.
