Today was the scheduled adjournment day for the House, but it did not take place. Speaker Welch has scheduled sessions for both Saturday and Sunday due to delays in finalizing the budget. House Republicans have been excluded from the budget process this year and have yet to see any proposals from the Democrat majority. Recently, it was confirmed that Governor Pritzker’s budget proposal includes an $800 million deficit. He is reportedly leveraging support for proposed tax increases by threatening cuts to programs favored by legislative Democrats.
