The Illinois House on Thursday voted to override Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s vetoes of an income tax increase and state budget, ending a historic budget impasse that lasted more two years.
During floor debate State Representative Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) said the focus of his vote was he could not be convinced that the state’s top priorities are actually going to see the money from this budget.
Lawmakers are awaiting word from Moody's Investment Institute as to whether or not the state will receive a junk bond status after the passage of the budget Thursday.
