Smitty, SB1912 has the funds sweeps particulars. In light of the Burr Oak problem, it is interesting to note that the GA is sweeping $658,000 from the Cemetery Consumer Protection Fund.

I just don't understand how its more politically acceptable to have the next round of budget fighting right before the primary. What's going to change?

Followup - many non GRF budgets are contained in HB 2206. For example, the Fire Marshal. As of midnight, it had not been signed, and no news notices about it being signed. Anyone else have any news?

This statement is made without access to Public Acts on ilga.gov, just access to amendments that "delete and replace," but it seems Public Acts 96-0044 and 96-0045 transfer identical amounts from special funds to GRF. Anyone else read this? Anyone access to the Public Acts.

I'm sorry, one more thing:

Should the Union conduct a poll with its members to decide which of the cuts to negotiate or should it act like parents and do what it thinks is right for us whether we like it or not? I want to see what voice the rank and file members have in all of this.

At around 2:41 of the second video, Quinn says how layoffs can be negotiated with AFSCME et al. He said that furlough days and no contractual pay raises can prevent layoffs.

In the dated words of Linda Richman:
Talk amongst yourselves.

President Cullerton is one of the few true leaders to emerge from this crummy session. I hope his steady, practical, democratic-with-a-small-d style catches on in Springfield. And he's got a good bunch behind him in his caucus.

Sorry - Rich added a new post:

melissahahn: Gov. Quinn says he'll sign the budget bills as soon as he gets them (good news). Then it'll be time to decide layoffs (bad news).
