Republicans won control of the Illinois Senate presidency but face a 29 30 split needed for legislation. With this setup they gain leverage over committees and conference panels, shaping when and how bills reach the floor. Democrats could block measures yet may align to avoid backlash while Gov. Thompson seeks budget restraint ahead of 1982 reelection.

Court to Thompson Respond to Suit Over Senate Presidency

The Illinois Supreme Court was urged by Sen. Philip Rock and 29 Democrats to overturn Gov. James R. Thompson's takeover of the Senate. They seek to restore Rock as Senate president and bar Shapiro from acting as president, arguing 30 votes are required under the constitution. Thompson warned he would respond by Monday, while Democrats planned boycotts until court ruling.
