Illinois governor says budget still needs work

CHICAGO (AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn said the nearly $36 billion budget state lawmakers sent him still needs work and vowed Tuesday to comb through it before signing off.

The spending plan doesn’t include an extension of the state’s 2011 temporary income tax increase, which Quinn had said was necessary to avoid massive cuts to education and other areas. When the tax rolls back in January, it’ll create roughly a $1.8 billion revenue hole. Legislators, who rejected an election-year tax extension, have said they’ll return after the November election to address the revenue question.
