With No Budget, Lawmakers Break Until July 14
AP -- Illinois lawmakers plan to resume working on the state budget in two weeks.
The House speaker and Senate president announced Wednesday that they're calling a special legislative session for July 14. The purpose of the session is to consider overriding the governor's budget veto, if he takes that step.
But it's also possible that Gov. Pat Quinn could call legislators back into session before the 14th.
Wednesday marks the first day of the new budget year, but Illinois doesn't have a budget in place.
The Democratic governor says vital services will continue to be delivered.
