Illinois is one vote away from having its first state budget in nearly three years. The Illinois Senate yesterday voted to override Governor Rauner’s veto of a 32-percent income tax hike and the $36-billion budget that it fuels. The Illinois House didn’t have enough lawmakers at the Capitol in Springfield yesterday to take up an override as well. That vote is expected today.
Both local State Senators–Chuck Weaver and Neil Anderson voted against the income tax increase.
