Illinois House Overrides Gov. Rauner’s Veto on Tax Hike, Budget Bill

The state’s first budget in two years. And it’s a whopper, with a 32% increase in income taxes. 

The Illinois House voted to override Republican Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of the income tax hike and budget bill. This is the first budget Illinois has passed in two years.

The House voted 71-42, which is the bare minimum House Speaker Mike Madigan needed, after a security incident delayed the vote for two hours.
