SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Bruce Rauner is setting off on a five-stop tour around the state to discuss the 11-month budget standoff between the Republican governor and Democratic lawmakers.

Illinois was poised to enter a second year without a budget after lawmakers finished their legislative session Tuesday without agreement on a spending plan.

Rauner proposed a last-minute, short-term budget to give the state some near-term stability. But that failed to gain traction with Democrats, who have opposed the governor’s yearlong insistence on passing pro-business legislation and curbing the power of unions.

The governor’s Wednesday tour will pass through Alton, Vienna, Mahomet, Quincy and Pekin.
