The week began with a complete budget proposal — albeit billions out of balance — awaiting action by the governor. It ended with a near-total veto. Only money for pre-school, elementary and secondary education was spared the knife. But could that actually worsen the state bidget standoff?
We talk about that and more on this edition of State Week. Brian Mackey hosts with regular panelist Amanda Vinicky. This week's guests are Chris Mooney, director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois, and Kurt Erickson, Statehouse bureau chief for Lee Enterprises.
