House Speaker Michael Madigan has again canceled a session of the Illinois House scheduled for Wednesday.

In a brief statement, Madigan said he wants to continue giving working groups time to come up with a compromise on a budget plan and parts of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s turnaround agenda.

“The bipartisan working groups of legislators will meet three times this week continuing their efforts to achieve a compromise on the state budget,” Madigan said in a statement. “Governor Rauner has been supportive of these groups’ efforts and I agree with his recent comments that until there is a compromise budget, lawmakers should not be brought back to Springfield.”

Rauner last week said he didn’t see the point of calling lawmakers back into a special session until they had something to vote on.
