Illinois is currently in its eighth month without a budget. Spokesman for the Responsible Budget Coalition Neal Waltmire says the idea that state lawmakers won't agree on a budget by the end of the session on May 31st is a very scary one.

Waltmire says Rauner's address didn't ease the minds of Illinois residents who are worried about the state's lack of a budget. He adds that if state lawmakers can't agree on a budget by the end of the session on May 31st, a variety of groups will hurt from the lack of funding, including college students, the elderly and the disabled.

Waltmire says the trouble doesn't end there. He adds children involved in after school programs and the disabled as groups that will pay the price if the budget impasse continues. Waltmire says Governor Rauner's recent budget address showed he only cares about getting his agenda items passed.
