What Governing noted, but RRH missed, is that there is a big battle for swing districts in the IL House this year. The Dems have the minimum number of seats to command a supermajority and with it the power to override vetoes, pass bonding issues, and pass legislation after the constitutional end of session in May. It's particularly huge given the possibility of a Pub win for Gov, and the negotiating power a supermajority would have. A net of just one seat to the Pubs removes that supermajority status.
