I do not see the veto proof.
It was 71 to 47 in the House of ILL. What is it now?
I also did not mention above:
DEMS do not control the redistricting. It is an 8-person committee ... 4 DEM, 4 RINO. So the seats are negotiated. RINOs and Progressive incumbents are protected.
Dissident DEMS and Conservatives are punished.
The same. We gained exactly ZERO seats in the IL House, and 1 seat in the IL Senate:

I believe we are the only state in the country where a "Republican" defeated a RAT incumbent for Governor but there weren't any coattails in the legislature. Madigan seems to have arranged it that way. Rauner won comfortably outside of the margin error (51% for Rauner to 45% for Quinn), so numerous voters must have voted Rauner at the top of the ticket, and RAT for the rest of the offices.
In Illinois, it takes 3/5th vote (60%) to override the Governor, rather than the 2/3rds (66%) to override the President on the federal level. So the legislature will continue to have a veto proof majority. In a hypothetical scenario that RINO Rauner actually turned out to be decent and continually vetoed Madigan's pet projects (which he won't, but let's just pretend for argument's sake), the legislature could then override every one of his vetoes. Even if they didn't get every single Dem, they have at least 4-5 RINOs who routinely vote with the Dem caucus.
Call me cynical, but its impossible for Rauner to gain anything aside from the blame when the state continues to tank.
