The Illinois Senate's "grand bargain" budget compromise has had a rough go. And that doesn't count taxpayer response. Voters have objected to the sprawling proposal in state Capitol rallies, letters and witness testimony. Sen. Steans, an appropriations committee chairwoman at the heart of grand bargain machinations, suggested witnesses were focusing on the trees at the forest's expense. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman File)
