Taxation Without Reformation

"The stalemate over the budget lasted until this week, and in the meantime Illinois’ debts kept piling up. The impasse only ended when a number of Republicans, facing the prospect of yet another year without a state budget, voted with Democrats to pass the budget and now look to override Rauner’s veto later today, without getting much in return for the tax increases. If the override of Rauner’s veto fails, all that’s left is no budget and no plan." And over-ride they did. For all the good it will do.
