In this May 14, 2014 photo, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, testifies during a committee hearing at the Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is pushing to give small companies in the state equal access to the tax breaks that big corporations have. The plan takes aim at special EDGE credits _ tax breaks a small number of big companies like Sears Holding Corp. and OfficeMax have sought by going directly to the General Assembly with threats to leave Illinois. Madigan's plan would make the tax credits available to businesses with fewer than 100 employees, and target credits at areas of high poverty and unemployment. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
