Illinois is 2 roll-call votes away from having its first full-year budget in 3 years, dealing a blow to Governor Bruce Rauner's reform agenda.

The Illinois Senate Tuesday morning passed both the spending bill and the tax increase bill, that were approved by the House on Sunday.  Both passed with some Senate Republicans voting "yes" on both bills to provide the veto-proof majority needed to override the Governor's veto, which came at 1:39 Tuesday afternoon.

The Senate quickly overrode the Governor's veto of both bills in votes later on Tuesday afternoon, and Illinois' first full-year budget will be law when the Illinois House convenes to override the Governor's veto of both bills.

As of Tuesday night, it wasn't known when exactly Speaker Michael Madigan would call the House back into session.  Representatives were called into session Tuesday afternoon after the Governor's veto, but couldn't do business because of a lack of a quorum. 

Word out of Springfield Tuesday night, was that the House would convene for the override votes, on Wednesday at 10, but if not enough members were present for the 2 votes, it could be delayed until Thursday.  Their Sunday vote on both spending and tax increase bills were veto-proof, which means that when they vote to override the Governor's veto with what should be a veto-proof majority once again, the budget wil become law.

The new budget increases the personal income tax from 3-point-7-5 to 4-point-9-5 percent, and the corporate tax from 5-point-2-5 to 7 percent. Both tax increases are permanent.

Democrats claim the 36-point-one billion dollar budget is balanced, with 2-point-5 billion in spending cuts and one-point-5 billion in pension savings.

Republicans wanted reforms in state spending, but didn't get any.  
Reforms the Republicans wanted include statewide property tax relief, cost reductions in workers' compensation and benefits for state-employee pensions, and working toward dissolving or eliminating local governments.

Several Republicans in both chambers did vote for both the spending plan and the tax increase.
