The final tally was 31-67; crossing over to vote nay were Sens.

CTA To Commuters: Misery Is Coming
Huberman: 'We Will Be Leaving People, Literally, On The Curb'
(CBS) CHICAGO CTA President Ron Huberman said when fare hikes and service cuts kick in later this month, commuters will be in for a dosage of misery.
The CTA must make good on threats of a doomsday scenario because the Illinois General Assembly failed to come up with funding. A proposed sales tax hike to offset deficits at the CTA failed in the state House on Tuesday.
"The impact of that will be very severe," said CTA President Ron Huberman. "People will see much greater congestion. They will find it much harder to get to work. We will be leaving people, literally, on the curb."
Starting Sept. 17, CTA cash riders will to see their normal $2 fares rise to $2.50 for buses and 'L' trains. During morning and evening rush hours on the 'L,' that fare will cost an extra 50 cents, making it $3 to ride. Forty bus routes will also be cut.
The CTA is trying in advance to ease the pain by waiving the $5 purchasing fee for the Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus debit cards until Oct. 31.
I didn't check out the slideshows that came with the story, but they sound like they could be fun...
