Tuesday, the Illinois Legislature finally passed a concealed carry permit law by over-riding the Governor’s veto<\/a>. <\/p>\n

House members approved the override without any debate on the floor. The vote in the House was 77-31 in favor of an override, with 10 representatives not voting.<\/p>\n

The Senate vote was 41-17, after some mild debate. A three-fifths majority vote was needed in each chamber to override the veto.<\/p>\n

State lawmakers this spring, working under a federal court deadline, spent months negotiating on a bill that would allow Illinoisans to carry guns in public. Last week, however, Quinn issued an amendatory veto that rewrote multiple parts of the bill, making it more restrictive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sticking point was that the governor wanted to forbid carrying a weapon in any business that serves alcohol, and that businesses that allowed the carrying of guns on the premises needed to hang a sign out stating that. The legislature passed a version that forbade carrying a weapon in an establishment that derived more than half of it’s business from alcohol, and businesses which DIDN’T want guns on their property had to hang a sign.<\/p>\n

So, the governor threatened to cut off legislators’ says a WGN link<\/a> to us by Ex-PH2;<\/p>\n

A day after Governor Quinn\u2019s limits on concealed carry were shot down, he\u2019s firing back at lawmakers, docking their pay until they pass pension reform.<\/p>\n

Using his line-item veto power, Gov Quinn announced Wednesday that he is suspending pay for himself and for state lawmakers until the state\u2019s crippling pension crisis is resolved.<\/p>\n

State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says her office is checking if this is legal, but Quinn says the Illinois Constitution is \u201ccrystal clear.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So are the governor’s motivations since he has an election coming up next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
