THE ILLINOIZE: Invest in Kids "on life support"...Rezin says deal close on nuclear moratorium...What else to expect during veto session...

Welcome to the final three scheduled legislative days of 2023. I’m headed down to Springfield this mooning. See you there.

Don’t be surprised if things start slow today and tomorrow and Thursday is a total zoo.

The House and Senate are in at noon. Governor Pritzker isn’t in town, though. He’s participating in a Democratic news conference in Miami attacking Republican candidates for President. There’s nothing on his official schedule.

Let’s get to it.
