SPRINGFIELD - A day after the legislature forced a major new campaign fundraising restriction on him, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday threw a counter-punch: a new ethics bill that would nix lawmakers' second jobs and make it more difficult for them to raise their own pay.

The state Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed the measure to the House, where its future is uncertain.

Detractors called the bill a mere face-saving measure for Blagojevich, after he was stung by the Senate's unanimous vote Monday to press a different ethics bill into law over the governor's veto. That measure outlaws political donations from major state contractors to the elected officials who control their contracts a source Blagojevich has used to raise millions of campaign dollars.

Blagojevich's supporters responded by advancing an ethics package offered by the governor and aimed mostly at legislators.

That measure would prohibit lawmakers from holding second jobs in their local governments and would require a public up-or-down vote for legislators to raise their own pay instead of the current, quasi-automatic pay-raise system.

"This is just tit-for-tat," said Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-Moline, who cast the sole "no" vote against the Blagojevich-backed measure. "The problem is not in this chamber. The (ethics) cancer in Illinois is the governor."

Five senators voted "present," including Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, sponsor of the earlier ethics package that passed Monday. He argued there are fundamental flaws in Blagojevich's plan that should be ironed out before a vote.

Blagojevich's plan would ban all political contributions from state contractors to anyone holding or running for any elective office in the state, not just to the elected officials who control their contracts. Some critics say that provision raises free-speech and separation-of-powers issues.

But others, in both parties, spoke in favor of the measure to curtail their own power. "Let's keep this ethics ball rolling," Sen. James DeLeo, D-Chicago, said in floor debate.

The unspoken caveat is that the bill is widely expected to be killed in the House, where members are generally so furious at Blagojevich about a host of budgetary and constitutional issues that they tend to oppose anything he supports.

The bill passed Monday, which becomes law Jan. 1, is HB824.

The bill pending in the House is SB780.
