Here is something I missed until just now.
Legislators had forfeited their annual raise this year, but on Friday Quinn used his amendatory veto power to go even further and propose eliminating yearly pay raises for good.

Quinn's changes are aimed to forcing lawmakers to take a vote anytime they want a pay raise.
