Budgets, taxes and overdue state bills are a major part of the 2010 campaign for Illinois governor, but they’re not the only part.
Illinois’ next governor could very well be called on to act on legislation dealing with two of the more controversial non-budget issues that have divided lawmakers in recent years — concealed carry and same-sex unions.
Attempts to legalize both have been tried but have fallen short in the General Assembly. However, advocates believe the climate for both issues may be changing in Springfield. That means the next governor during his term could be faced with signing or vetoing legislation allowing people to carry concealed guns or granting same-sex couples legal protections.
