The current legislative session is less than two weeks away from its scheduled end, and House Democrat Leader Jehan Gordon-Booth thinks a budget will get done by then.

But, Gordon-Booth says, it’s also possible whatever passes won’t be the final budget — meaning, some sort of special summer session.

“Congress is not slated to unveil what it is they plan to do, let alone what they end up doing, as it relates to budgeting,” said Gordon-Booth (D-Peoria), a lead budget negotiator in the Illinois House.

Gordon-Booth says things like what Congress will do with Medicaid remains somewhat up in the air, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson’s self-imposed Memorial Day deadline.

I don’t know if they’ll return as early as this summer, but I’ve suggested to Isabel that she buy trip insurance if she makes any travel plans for the rest of the year.

Also, if they don’t find a revenue solution for mass transit, then that could also trigger a possible return if layoffs and service cuts begin.
