Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White says his office will suspend mailing reminder notices on renewing motor vehicle registrations because there's still no state budget.
White sent Gov. Bruce Rauner a letter last week warning of potential major problems at government facilities related to the budget standoff.
He says vendors aren't being paid and are threatening to suspend services. He also worries that utilities could be shut off at the state Capitol in Springfield.
White says that interrupting the mailing service will save about $450,000 a month.
Rauner and White spoke last week by phone. Both say they're looking at interim solutions.
