Chicago - Daniel Biss released the following statement in response to Governor Rauner's veto of HB2622, a bill Daniel sponsored to create a state-sponsored workers' compensation insurance company.
"For two years, we've heard Governor Rauner beat a drum about how important it is to reform workers compensation. When given that opportunity, he maintains the status quo — choosing instead to protect the insurance industry and punish injured workers who will continue to bear the brunt of a broken system. Once again, Rauner chooses millionaires over working families."
