SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – With the two-year budget standoff looming large, Illinois lawmakers return to the capital city Monday for two days to finish work before a new session begins Wednesday.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner said Friday that Democrats and Republicans in the Senate had been crafting a compromise spending plan. But he had no details and warned it was not finalized.

House Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang of Skokie says if Rauner is willing to deal, a budget agreement could be worked out before the 100th General Assembly begins its work midweek.

In the Senate, Assistant Republican Leader Sue Rezin of Morris says she sees a shift toward bipartisanship in talks over ways to improve school funding. She says that bodes well for budget negotiations.
