Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The current legislative session is less than two weeks away from its scheduled end, and House Democrat Leader Jehan Gordon-Booth thinks a budget will get done by then.

But, Gordon-Booth says, it’s also possible whatever passes won’t be the final budget — meaning, some sort of special summer session.

“Congress is not slated to unveil what it is they plan to do, let alone what they end up doing, as it relates to budgeting,” said Gordon-Booth (D-Peoria), a lead budget negotiator in the Illinois House.

Gordon-Booth says things like what Congress will do with Medicaid remains somewhat up in the air, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson’s self-imposed Memorial Day deadline.

“We have to operate with as much wisdom as we can,” said Gordon-Booth.  We have to do the things that Illinoisans expect us to do, make those investments that people expect us to make, but do them in as logical of a way as we can, without a clear set of understanding of where this is going to go.”

Gordon-Booth says roughly $50 billion of the state’s more than $100 billion budget comes from federal sources.
