Next State Budget Will Be More Difficult

Lawmakers are on a two week spring break but they were able to get one big task completed before heading home.

They passed a fix to the states current budget, setting up funding for some critical programs before money started to run out before the end the fiscal year. Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker Mike Madigan says that the work that lies ahead might be much more difficult.
