After missing a key deadline last night, there is still no deal to end the 2-year-long state budget impasse. And now Illinois Senate Democrats say they can’t trust Republican Governor Bruce Rauner to negotiate. Senate Democrats did pass a budget without GOP votes. They say Rauner sent conflicting messages. In Springfield, he’d tell them to keep up the negotiations. Outside the capitol, Rauner said all Democrats want to do is raise your taxes. Here’s Democratic Senator Toi Hutchinson.
"If the goal is to get a budget, if the goal really is to get a budget, we’d have one."
Rauner has said he wants a permanent property tax freeze as part of a state budget. And the House didn’t vote on the Senate’s plan. That leaves state finances in limbo.
