Lawmakers in Springfield are expected to take on education reform and the state budget.

Tuesday, lawmakers return to Springfield to work on other challenges like education and the state budget. To find out what to expect from the state legislature, Eight Forty-Eight spoke to Sean Crawford, Illinois Public Radio's news director.
