[pwjohn]

Lawmakers in Illinois have enacted a budget for the first time in more than two years, overriding a veto by Gov. Bruce Rauner and overcoming a last-minute delay at the Capitol.

The crucial override vote was delayed after authorities received a report of possible hazardous materials, prompting an investigation, The Associated Press reports. "A woman allegedly threw a powdery substance in Rauner's office," the wire service writes, citing the Springfield fire chief.

Illinois deserves this budget.

From the article;

The state's long budget crisis began when Rauner took office and vowed, among other things, to take on the state's influential public-sector unions. The AP reports that the governor wanted a budget that would freeze property taxes, change workers' compensation programs and cut the cost of state employee pensions. He was also opposed to any permanent tax increase.

Illinois deserves this budget.

Are you suggesting that Illinois was better off going into default simply because this governor lacks leadership skills.

What good is a budget when you don't have any money?

Ask Trump. He wants massive cuts in revenue while we have a half trillion dollar deficit.

Says the head with nothing between the antlers, who also wants illegals to stay and take more of our money while growing the deficit; thus the national debt, larger.

CLUE FOR LEFTISTS---------->you do not need a law for you to send MORE of YOUR money to the government. If it is such a great idea, why don't you! We won't stop you, honest. Just send them MORE of your cash. And I will give you an even BETTER clue---------->you can MAKE more money to SEND to them, IF you spend more of your time working, instead of LOSING money you COULD be sending to them, by sitting on here spewing Marxist nonsense to the nth degree-)
