GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS HE'S DISAPPOINTED THE FALL LEGISLATIVE VETO SESSION HAS BEEN CANCELLED. 

THE HOUSE AND SENATE NIXED THE SESSION DUE TO CONCERNS OVER COVID-19. LAWMAKERS DON’T HAVE ANY ACTUAL VETOES TO CONSIDER, BUT THE GOVERNOR SAYS HE WOULD HAVE LIKED THEM TO MEET.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS HE’D HOPED TO GET A LOT DONE DURING THE SESSION, BUT NOW WILL MEET WITH LEGISLATIVE LEADERS TO DISCUSS WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE STATE BUDGET NOW THAT THE GRADUATED INCOME TAX PROPOSAL HAS FAILED.

THE NEXT TIME LAWMAKERS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE BACK AT THE CAPITOL IS IN JANUARY FOR A SHORT LAME DUCK SESSION BEFORE A NEW GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS SWORN IN.
