THE SPRING LEGISLATIVE SESSION HAS CONCLUDED IN SPRINGFIELD…WITH PLENTY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

AN EXPANSION OF GAMBLING, ABORTION RIGHTS, A BALANCED BUDGET, MONEY FOR ROADS AND BUILDINGS, LEGALIZING RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA AND JOB CREATION INCENTIVES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS LAWMAKERS WERE ABLE TO GET DONE. GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROUD.

IT TOOK A LOT OF NEGOTIATIONS AND COMPROMISE SAYS SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER BILL BRADY.

THE SESSION WENT TWO DAYS PAST THE SCHEDULED ADJOURNMENT DATE OF MAY 31ST…BUT BIPARTISAN AGREEMENTS PUSHED SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THROUGH IN THE FINAL HOURS.
