Budget talks in the Illinois General Assembly have stalled once again, with Democrats likely to miss their self-imposed budget deadline. The process has excluded Republicans, leading to frustration and calls for bipartisan cooperation.
"We have to work together if we want to craft the best budget for our state," said a Republican representative.
The deadlock centers around disagreements over a proposed sportsbook tax hike and retailer discounts.
