Illinois House Rejects Budget-Cutting Power Plan Amid GOP Dem Split
The Illinois House defeated a plan giving the governor temporary budget-cutting authority after a deal among Gov. George H.

Lisa Madigan, running for attorney general, voted no amid questions about her father Speaker Michael Madigan’s involvement.
