The Illinois legislature has approved the so-called Voices Act, overriding a veto from Governor Bruce Rauner. It's aimed at helping certain immigrants obtain special visas.

Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed a dozen bills late Friday. Among them: House Bill 3211, a measure that would help low-income students qualify for federal SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps.

On the 21st: The longest state budget standoff since the Great Depression ended yesterday. We heard reactions from lawmakers who voted yesterday, some of the people most affected by the budget standoff in health, education and business sectors, and spoke with former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar. 

Rauner's moving forward with rule changes that drastically reduce -- by 90 percent -- who's eligible, by lowering the income threshold. A new parent trying to get child care assistance will find she makes too much money, if she's working 40 hours a week at a minimum wage job.
