Speaker Madigan Summons House Back to Session

That didn't take long.

Speaker of the House Michael Madigan has summoned back to Springfield legislators who failed to take action on a special tax break for a pair of Illinois businesses.

They may be close to a deal that would keep the retailer and financial powerhouse in the state.

From Crain's:

Multiple sources confirm that the House Revenue Committee is set to meet at 10 a.m. Monday, and the full House at noon.

A spokesman for Senate President John Cullerton said that while he has not yet announced anything, "Tuesday is a good possibility."

House Revenue Committee Chairman John Bradley, D-Marion, who has been leading negotiations on a big tax-break deal, said nothing yet is complete, but seemed to suggest that just a a few loose ends need to be tied up.

The fact that a session has been called "is not a bad sign," Mr. Bradley said. "We want to get this done before the holidays and have some certainty."
