Illinois House Democrats fail again in a bid to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a bill that would have sent stalled labor talks with state worker unions to binding arbitration. The override vote fell short by just two votes. The Illinois Labor Relations Board will decide the issue.

Illinois Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan is proceeding with his own budget proposal in defiance of Gov. Bruce Rauner's wish for a compromise that includes pro-business, union-weakening reforms to settle a nearly yearlong stalemate.

Madigan says he told the Republican governor during a meeting Wednesday that "he's not being real persuasive" in negotiations that he's established with various groups of lawmakers.
