The Illinois Senate has rejected a two-year property tax freeze in the state.  The Democratic offer to try to meet with Governor Bruce Rauner and his demand for tax relief for local homeowners is one of the multiple measures that are part of the grand bargain budget compromise.  The disagreements between Rauner and the General Assembly has kept Illinois from having a state budget and an annual spending plan for 2 years.  The vote was 32 to 11 in favor of the measure.  For an extraordinary majority, 36 votes needed to be approved, because it would overrule home-rule governance in larger cities.  Governor Rauner has been insisting on a permanent property tax freeze, even with property taxes being a primary funding source for public schools.  Republicans suggested that a temporary freeze would work, but Rauner and the GOP senators rejected the 2-year freeze suggestion.
