Democratic members of the General Assembly had only seven minutes to spare before a key constitutional deadline to pass a spending plan.

Illinois lawmakers passed a $55 billion budget with tax hikes on smoking and gambling, but left proposals on transit and a Bears stadium hanging.

The $55.2 billion spending plan is supported by $55.3 billion of revenue, including just over $1 billion in new taxes and revenue changes. The four bills making up the budget and capital spending plan were part of a flurry of thousands of pages of legislation that went from introduction to passage in the final 48 hours of the legislative session.
