illinois' pension reform law will not take effect on june first, as planned. a judge in sangamon county suspended the overhaul until lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the law can be resolved. unions, retirees and other groups argue that public worker pensions are protected from being diminished or impaired. the law, enacted in december, would reduce retirees' benefits and raise the retirement age to save the state nearly 145 billion dollars ... over 30 years. the state house could vote on a budget today that relies on extending the so-called temporary income tax hike. the plan has the state spending 38-billion dollars. that's four billion dollars *more than what's coming in *if the temporary income tax is not extended. but the house may vote on the budget before they even vote on how to pay for it all. house speaker michael madigan says there's time to pick up votes for extending the tax hike. if the budget isn't balanced by the end of the month, it may have to wait until after the november elections. mariano's is rolling out another store in chica

i went to illinois waited for years for a solution on the thompson correctional center. for too long politics in washington, i think it's on display gent tonight unfortunately, got in the way of creating jobs in our region. for me it's in eastern iowa. it's that type of partisan game that must end. i appreciate the comments from my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on this. the thompson prison will bring more than 1,000 new jobs at a time when families need them and spur economic development in our region. money for the facility was included in the f.y. to 14 omnibus bill we passed in january and it makes no sense we it stop progress that we enhanced four months ago. i hope i don't need to remind my colleagues of the fact we have a capacity problem in our nation's prisons. the problem only grows worse when we intentionally prevent more facilities from operating. again while i understand the arguments that have been made tonight against us, those folks will not come here, and i yield back the balance of my time. thank you. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gen
