The Latest: Even House GOP votes for better bill reporting

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Latest on action in the Illinois General Assembly (all times local):

4 p.m.

Lawmakers in the Illinois House overwhelmingly sided with the state's Democratic comptroller in what had devolved into a political spat with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The House voted 112-0 Wednesday to override Rauner's veto of a plan to require state agencies to report incoming bills monthly to the check-writing comptroller.

Years of battling between Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature left the state without an annual budget for two years. Spending continued, leaving today a pile of $16.6 billion in past due bills.

But Comptroller Susana Mendoza estimates nearly half of that total is still at the agencies.
