No tax increase is coming from this General Assembly — for now.

Fearless prediction: The General Assembly will not pass Gov. Quinn’s tax increase. Nor will lawmakers pass a Doomsday budget. They will pass some sort of continuing resolution that keeps the current budget in place until they come back in a special session, when Democrats will attempt to get some Republicans to support a tax increase.
Reasons: It’s summertime. Lawmakers don’t want to get slugged on the county fair circuit by angry taxpayers. They’ll wait to do this until we’re all preoccupied with Christmas shopping.
