Statehouse
...
cont’d.
In closing, I think I’ll answer the question that many have
been asking lately about predictions for the end of the
legislative session. I think the General Assembly will pass
a budget by the May 31 deadline, send it to the governor
and go home. Then, I think the governor will campaign
for a while across the state against the budget that the
General Assembly passed. Then he’ll probably veto it. And
that will make Illinois history for the first governor to go a
complete gubernatorial term without ever signing a budget.
After that all bets are off and things are going to get
real silly, real fast. Depending on how the various state
supported agencies are faring, and that includes
universities and public schools, the legislature will either
let things burn down as we head towards the November
election, or they’ll return with a veto override like they did
last summer. It’s too early to tell which way they’ll go this
summer without knowing what the “polls” are showing
them. Here’s what we do know—it’s always entertaining in
the Land of Lincoln!
Best wishes for a successful ending to the 2017–18
school year.
