Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner celebrated a big victory on Wednesday after his veto of a bill that would stop districts from implementing right-to-work laws went through. The House vote to contest Rauner’s veto fell one short of the 71 votes needed to override. Illinois Democrats have expressed concern that the veto is pushing them closer to becoming a right-to-work state. The governor’s office said that the vetoed bill would have restricted local communities’ ability to compete with nearby states and that such laws would be damaging to local businesses.
