FILE - In this Nov. 30, 2016 file photo, Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, speaks to reporters in Springfield, Ill. The temporary Illinois budget plan agreed to last summer expires with the new year. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the General Assembly have hardly talked about how to replace it. Elementary and high school funding was approved through June. And a large chunk of money gets spent because it's court-ordered or is automatically renewed annually. But money for state operations, human services, and higher education dries up.
