The Illinois Senate overrode Republican Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of budget bills approved this week by the Democrat-led legislature, moving the state closer to ending its record budget impasse.
It’s now up to the state’s House of Representatives to hold its own override vote. The chamber plans to do so, but not on Tuesday, Steve Brown, a spokesman for Speaker Michael Madigan, said before Rauner’s veto was announced.
