Action at the State House is picking back up this week and the leader of the Senate says it’s time for the state to move forward. The original package of bills has been reworked and is still designed to give a little and compromise a little for a state budget.
Senate President John Cullerton says a hike to the minimum wage won’t be part of the grand bargain. But enough is enough and state government has to start working again.
The Senate will hold hearings on the bills and expects votes by the end of the week.
