SPRINGFIELD - Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the leaders of the Illinois legislature announced Wednesday that they have reached a deal on a roughly $50 billion state budget, which they plan to bring before the Senate for a vote later in the day.The deal comes after lawmakers missed a self-imposed Friday deadline for approving a spending plan amid dissension among Democrats, who control the governor's office and both legislative chambers, over how to balance the ballooning cost of a health care program for immigrants with other party priorities.
