Even with complete control of the levers of power in Springfield and despite working into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, policy fissures between the chambers meant lawmakers didn’t fully complete their work in time to adjourn as scheduled May 31, leaving hanging high-profile issues like an elected board for Chicago Public Schools, repairing issues with the state’s gun licensing process, and a massive energy package. ....
