Senate Democrats are done taking the heat for the state’s budget crisis.
Democrats in the chamber took tough votes this spring on a budget that cut billions in spending and a tax increase. They did so with no Republican support and Senator Heather Steans (Stains) says they more than anyone did their job.
The Governor called it a dereliction of duty. Speaker of the House Mike Madigan says Bruce Rauner won’t negotiate with them. Both chambers are planning working days throughout June.
