UPDATE: Delaware lawmakers at standstill on budget

As of around 5:30 a.m., Delaware lawmakers have given up trying to pass a budget for the fiscal year that started Saturday as Republicans refused to support higher income taxes proposed by Gov. John Carney and fellow Democrats to fund a proposed $4 billion spending plan.
 
After weeks of budget negotiations and failed attempts at last-minute deals, lawmakers settled early Saturday on an unprecedented short-term measure funding state government at fiscal 2017 levels for 72 hours.
 
The move came after a proposed tax increase failed in the House, with all Republicans and one Democrat voting against it.
 
Carney said he was disappointed that lawmakers could not agree on budget, adding that Republicans were unwilling to compromise on "ideological demands."
 
Carney said he planned to call lawmakers back to session at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
