Illinois Governor: Lawmakers Can Override Veto Suspending Their Paychecks, If They Dare

The Governor said there was no reason for lawmakers to go to court to reverse him. They could do it themselves.
After filing the lawsuit yesterday, with the judge setting November 27 for an initial hearing, no one has done anything to speed things up.
