just dropped long-awaited plan to reform oversight of Chicago area.

Public transit.

Meanwhile, they're still figuring out how to address potential Medicaid cuts in federal funding.

Uncertainties as the legislative deadline approaches.

Our Nic Blumberg joins us now live from Springfield.

Nic, what is in this new transit Bill?

brand is this measure would replace the regional transportation authority with the new northern Illinois Transit Authority.

It would be empowered to coordinate things like fair policy and major capital projects, CTA, Metra and pace.

essentially be operational divisions, focused on running buses and trains.

>> Now lawmakers have been clear there won't be revenue to fill Transit's, massive budget gap next year without reforms.

But that revenue is not in this bill.

Now, given the complexity of the change, the measure creates a runway with the working group set to be seated by April of next year.

Other provisions include things like a transit ambassador program and that working group but also be charged with coming up more on potentially creating a transit police And Nick advocates are also pushing back against potential cuts to Medicaid and health care for undocumented people.

What's at stake there?

that's right.

This comes in the context of President Trump's so-called big beautiful bill that cleared the U.S. House and is now the Senate.

The current version includes some 700 billion dollars in cuts to Medicaid.

It would also cut matching dollars for states that offer health coverage to immigrants.

Both legal, present and documented.

Now Governor Pritzker's budget earlier this year moved to trim that health coverage for undocumented immigrants between the ages of 42 64.

That's something that immigrant advocates want to see restored.

Let's take a listen >> Well, we struck health care from documented.

We strain on hospitals.

create a compensated care.

And we were about being everyone, not one population.

>> Now one immigrant advocate told me that those cuts are essentially 3 complying with something that may not actually come to fruition.

She also said some lawmakers are still pushing to restore coverage for those adult immigrants in the state budget.

But it's unclear whether that's going anywhere.

And we know of Governor Pritzker spoke with the media earlier today.

What did he say about where the budget stands right now?

>> Well, as you might expect, Pritzker told us he is in conversation legislative leaders every day during this very busy month of may.

Now given how challenging a budget year is, the governor was asked whether he would support idea that's been floated for years.

A sales tax on services.

But Pritzker said any broad-based taxes that would negatively affect working families.

He's opposed some of what he said.

>> I've been pretty clear with everybody that.

>> You know, individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, sales taxes.

We're not about raising those taxes at all.

I would veto a bill that does that.

>> We also talked about those potential Medicaid cuts we just mentioned that he's hopeful there's enough opposition in U.S. Senate, but those won't come to fruition.

We also asked about some measures is back this session, for example, banning cell phones from classrooms and allowing college is to offer certainly four-year degrees.

Now, this one into opposition from some members of the Black caucus.

But Pritzker said he's still hopeful they will be called for a vote.

And he told us while he hasn't been pushing for any specific revenue options to address transit's budget gap, he said reforms to better coordinate service are critical.

By the way, Pritzker spoke to after a dedication event at the State Library reading room, naming it after former Governor Jim Edgar Pritzker and many others, he pays on Edgar as a statesman.

Pittsburgh, joking.

You gotta be careful which former governors of try to emulate pits for added that hackers.

Number one piece of advice that he gave fertility took office passed a budget.
