Gov. Bruce Rauner delivers his State of the State address to a joint session of the General Assembly in the House chambers Wednesday at the State Capitol in Springfield.
Rauner renews call for reform Makes case for ‘Turnaround Agenda,’ urges ‘mutual respect’ amid crisis
In many ways, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s second State of the State Address echoed many of the sentiments from his first. He spent much of his roughly 40-minute address Wednesday afternoon again making the case for elements of his “Turnaround Agenda” that he says are needed to re-

What has changed since last year is a budget stalemate that is entering its eighth month because of an impasse between Rauner and the Democratic-dominated General Assembly. Rauner made clear in his address that a budget deal will not come without compromises that include fundamental reforms. “If each of us commits to serious negotiation based on mutual respect for our co-equal branches
