State lawmakers finished the spring legislative session this week without a balanced budget, but Governor Bruce Rauner isn’t committing to calling a special session. Lawmakers did not take up a stopgap budget being pushed by Republicans to fund government operations through the end of the calendar year. Lawmakers also failed to pass a standalone K-12 funding bill.
Rauner did not commit to calling a special session. He previously said he would investigate paying for a special session out of his own pocket, estimated to cost $40,000 a day.
