Most recently he took issue with the Assembly's plan to give themselves pay raises as Cook County taxes steadily creep upward.

Blagojevich’s version of the bill, which requires insurance companies to cover Illinois residents under their parents’ health policies until the age of 26, is just one of dozens of amendatory vetoes the governor said he will make in the coming weeks in an initiative he calls “Rewrite to Do Right.”
