Predictions about what Governor Rauner will propose in today's budget address can be summed up with 1 word: pain.
Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno says cuts are expected by lawmakers on both sides, though the proposed budget will almost certainly change before it's passed.
There will be negotiating with plenty of Democratic lawmakers in Springfield with the budget proposal. Many are not pleased with Rauner's recent executive orders regarding labor unions.
Raunder is set to deliver his address at noon today at the Capitol.
