We need big investments in the state and big accomplishments. Businesses love to relocate to Chicago metro in part because of infrastructure and education. - Token Conservative - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:23 pm: There’s no reason Durkin and Brady should even be playing ball at this point. Don’t put votes on an unbalanced budget, don’t put votes on excessive tax increases that don’t invest in your district. Elections have consequences, let them make the tough votes. - Not a Superstar - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:34 pm: ==There’s no reason Durkin and Brady should even be playing ball at this point.== Bruce, how can we miss you if you never leave? - Retired Educator - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:38 pm: On my bucket List: to see the Senate and House finish and adjourn by 10:00 PM on the last day with all their work completed! I feel like I have 20 years left to see it if the good Lord agrees - Ginhouse Tommy - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:39 pm: Not to sound stupid but I thought the GA was used to not having a budget on time and going into overtime and not caring if they did. This is a nice change of pace and I hope it works. Cue the music for Ted Nugent’s Just what the Doctor ordered. - Ginhouse Tommy - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:43 pm: ON second thought make that Deal by the Dead - Big Jer - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 8:57 pm: The pro business reforms are mostly tax credits. Enough with the business tax credits. Illinois has major infrastructure revenue needs and businesses/corporations need to contribute not just “jobs” but pay their share of taxes to build and maintain infrastructure. Many commenters have mentioned how many of the taxes being proposed to pay for a capital bill are regressive and this is the reason, because businesses are not holding up their end. - Huh? - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 9:19 pm: Stop the clock at 11:55pm. - Ok - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 9:28 pm: Looks like a lot of “Corporate loopholes” the next Governor will run on closing… - ThinkingOutLoud - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 9:46 pm: The Senate really is the upper chamber - Lester Holt’s Mustache - Friday, May 31, 19 @ 10:59 pm: ==Elections have consequences, let them make the tough votes.== Oooohhh, I get it now. You’re that guy who doesn’t realize that republicans have been doing exactly what your suggesting they do for all these years, which has led them to their current super-minority status. Never mind, you’re right - I mean, who needs electoral success? Holding office is overrated anyway Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
