Same-sex couples are one step closer to having the option of civil unions, the bill has passed in the House and will now go on to the Senate for almost sure approval.
A House committee approved a bill that would abolish the death penalty in Illinois.
The state has not used the death penalty since former Gov. George Ryan called for a moratorium in 2000.
No news yet on the State Budget. The current State Legislature has a lot on its plate, maybe too much for it to deal with an unbalanced state budget. Doctors, hospitals, health care centers, and other private companies have past due bills that are several months old, that Illinois cannot pay. All these people must wait for their money until more important business is taken care of first.
