Region weighs budget path as Illinois faces split over funds

Local officials express optimism and concern as lawmakers struggle to pass a final state budget. The governor and House Speaker Madigan clash over whether 200 million should stay in key line items, affecting projects from Illinois 13 widening to the World Shooting Complex funding.

Blagojevich calls for special session to finish budget

Illinois Governor Blagojevich urged lawmakers to return to Springfield for a special session after missing the May 31 budget deadline. The plan faces a three-fifths majority requirement in both chambers and a July deadline to avoid a government shutdown. The dispute centers on a roughly 200 million gap between competing budget proposals from Senate President Emil Jones and Speaker Madigan along with Watson and Cross. Daily per-diem of 95 dollars for returning lawmakers would cost at least 16,815 dollars daily for the legislature.
