In an editorial published over the weekend, [Reboot Illinois] called on rank-and-file Democrats — meaning those outside the leadership — to defy House Speaker Michael Madigan and strike a deal with Gov. Rauner.

That didn’t happen.

On Tuesday afternoon, Doubek didn’t seem too surprised. She pointed to the very real power Speaker Madigan has over House Democrats, which makes it risky to get on his bad side.

“He provides a lot of the funding for their campaign,” she said. “He provides a lot of the workers who go door-to-door. He gets a lot of that money and manpower from labor unions in the state of Illinois as well as from trial lawyers.”

* Actually, Madigan was rebuked hard, just not in the House…

Several Senate Democrats, including some members of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus, were unhappy with the budget blueprint Madigan muscled through the House last week, contending the longtime speaker too often dictates to them what the state budget will be. The bill failed, garnering only 17 “yes” votes and 31 “no” votes — an emphatic rejection of the powerful Madigan, who also chairs the state Democratic Party. […]

Cullerton met behind closed doors with black caucus members Tuesday evening. State Sen. Emil Jones III told reporters the biggest issue was that “we didn’t have a part in that budget. We weren’t a part of the negotiations.”

“Yeah, it may have taken away a pressure point, but we’re going to be here to negotiate all summer, so we’ll get something done,” Jones said.

The Senate’s refusal to adopt a budget plan bearing the clear imprint of Madigan, the state party chairman, represented a stinging rebuke to the longest-serving statehouse speaker in America and a setback Rauner allies called a “catastrophe” for Democrats.

Within the 39-member Senate Democratic majority, some senators complained they were unable to have input in the House-passed plan, which arrived last week as a take-it-or-leave it proposition, one of Madigan’s legislative hallmarks over the years in his dealings with Illinois’ upper legislative chamber.

“There was a lot of resentment over the way it was passed,” said Senate President John Cullerton.

* And there was some agreement with the governor…

On the Senate floor, Cullerton said working groups would be finding a way to fund education.

Despite the lack of action on budget deadline day, late Tuesday Cullerton told reporters he’s confident he can get a temporary budget — one that could fund the state until January — in a week. He said he was “optimistic” he could work with Rauner and the leaders on passing a temporary budget that will help the state move forward.

“I hope to have a budget. Think about this. A real budget, signed by the governor — an agreement — within a week. That’s more positive than we’ve been up until now,” Cullerton said.

Cullerton said he reached an agreement with Rauner during a Tuesday leaders meeting to pass a budget “that’s not going to be encumbered by things that have kept us from passing a budget until now.”

How [the Senate] voted on Speaker Michael Madigan’s state budget (which failed): The 17 “yes” votes were all Democrats. The 10 “present” votes were all Democrats. And of the 31 “no” votes, 19 were Republicans and 12 were Democrats, including some potential GOP targets.

The roll call is here.
