State House and Senate Leaders Weigh In On Budget Deal Prospects

Amanda Vinicky

  For only the second time this year, Gov. Bruce Rauner and the four legislative leaders are set to meet, Tuesday, in Springfield.  It comes as Illinois' historic budget stalemate yawns into May, with two weeks left in legislators' regular session schedule.

These "leaders' meetings" are private, but NPR Illinois Statehouse Bureau Chief Amanda Vinicky had the chance to speak with House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton.
