[May 10, 2007]  SPRINGFIELD -- The following statement from Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich was released Thursday:

"Yesterday was a good and productive start to the budget discussion in the House of Representatives. Members asked good questions, raised valid concerns and expressed an interest in working together to meet our state's biggest challenges, like health care and education.

"Considering that this meaningful dialogue was initiated just 24 hours ago, it would be premature to conclude the discussion today and ask members to make a decision before they have an opportunity to get answers to their questions and offer their ideas. So we are asking all members to vote 'no' to send a clear message that this issue is too important for a rush to judgment on a nonbinding resolution."
