This year's Illinois Governor's Prayer Breakfast has been postponed and could eventually be canceled. Glenn Hodas of the Illinois Governor's Prayer Breakfast Committee says the state's ongoing budget stalemate has made it difficult to find speakers for the event.
Gov. Bruce Rauner's office says there are still plans to hold this year's prayer breakfast and that there's an ongoing search for speakers. But Hodas says the event's prospects are dim because the spring legislative session is winding down and it's usually held when legislators are in Springfield. Organizers believe this could be the first year the annual event hasn't been held since its inception in 1963.
