Madigan's secret plan?
Ralph and Archpundit praised this post by ILPundit.
ILPundit suggests Madigan may quietly assemble support for a veto-proof budget that includes a tax swap.
Won't that require Republicans?
ILPundit theorizes Republicans might join the effort.
The best reason for Madigan to pre-empt Blagojevich this way is that Blagojevich has a budget that's somehow unacceptable to Madigan and the Republicans.

First, their constituents would probably welcome property tax relief; andWhy would Madigan bail out the governor? As long as there's a problem it's Blagojevich's problem. Why not let Rod twist in the wind on cutting services and raising taxes?
Second, it would deprive the Governor of his signature issue in 2006.
