Township bill could let Frankfort airport expansion proceed
A bill in an Illinois Senate committee would let Frankfort township own and operate its airport and gain eminent domain for the 20 year expansion project. If approved, the measure would also enable state and federal grants, with about 750000 local funds to be raised over three phases and possibly a referendum before any local funding.

House OKs benefits for Rock Island workers
The House advanced a $35 million package to fund Labor Protection provisions for former Rock Island railroad workers.

The bill now heads to the Senate, with final approval possible from President Reagan.

Ambulance destination decisions vary by family choice in suburbs
In Frankfort and Mokena the ambulance destination is chosen by the family with input from medics when needed. The fire department does not decide the hospital, and proximity or economics do not force a choice. Citizens may pick Palos, Olympia Fields, or Silver Cross based on preference.
