Illinois looks to federal money to maintain services amid budget impasse

With Illinois starting its second month of fiscal 2016 without a budget, the Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that has Governor Bruce Rauner’s support to tap $4.8 billion in federal dollars to fund certain state services. The 57-0 vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate sends the measure to the House, which returns to session on Wednesday.
