WUIS' Sean Crawford talks with Statehouse Bureau Chief Amanda Vinicky on where the state budget gridlock goes from here. 

Governor Bruce Rauner, a Republican, and Democrats who control the General Assembly have yet to agree on a new spending plan.  Rauner wants his own changes approved, including a property tax freeze, new rules for worker's compensation and more.

The battle goes on as the new fiscal year looms less than 3 weeks away.
