Quinn said he wants to add money for education and human services.
He expects some lawmakers want to do the same. Chicago Democrat
Sara Feigenholtz, who helped write the state's human services
budget, said she expects some action in the fall. But she is quick
to say that lawmakers, not Quinn, will have to act.
But Republicans say if Quinn adds to the budget, it will be "all
but" impossible to roll back the tax increases that are supposed to
be temporary.
Illinois' current budget expires Thursday, and a new fiscal year
begins July 1.
