Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers while on the House floor at the state Capitol on Thursday, May 26, 2016, in Springfield, Ill. Lawmakers are pressing ahead in an effort to resolve their budget deadlock, a day after House Democrats pushed through a proposal that Republicans decried as phony and out of whack. Republican Rauner has signaled he would veto the bill, but it still must get through the Democrat-controlled Senate.
