Senate votes to override to aid Triton College finance
Illinois Senate approved overrides of two community college finance bills affecting Triton College. A key override would restore about 15 million dollars for community college building projects, including the 6.1 million Triton Career Center, with House consideration expected this week. An additional 1.055 million is needed for Triton’s share. The funding relies on a bond issue defeated October 16, and match funding remains unclear.
