Illinois Legislature looks ahead in a divided session
The Senate and House remain split with Democrats holding the House and Republicans in control of the Senate. Major items looming include Medicaid budget shortfalls of 300 to 600 million, potential rate cuts by the governor, proposed gambling and casino expansions, education funding, and possible tax credits to spur jobs. Leaders expect ongoing noncontroversial bills alongside a few big deals on health care, welfare reform, and Chicago school funding.
