Illinois' capitol will once again hum with activity this week. It's the start of the veto session.
Here's what Rep. Jack Franks, a Democrat from Marengo, predicts will happen:
"Not much; not much."
The aptly-named "veto session" is supposed to be when the General Assembly can give a thumbs up or down to legislation rejected by the governor.
There's not much on that list though; Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed only 11 of the hundreds of bills legislators sent him. The most controversial, one that would create statewide regulations on ridesharing services, like Uber. Supporters will try to override Quinn's veto.
That leaves plenty of time for other issues: perhaps a vote to increase the minimum wage? And lots of talk about Illinois' finances, in advance of an income tax reduction at the end of the year -- and the budget hole that will create.
