Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is pushing to give small companies in the state equal access to the tax breaks that big corporations have.

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/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)
