Lake Front Bill veto message by Governor Palmer
Governor Palmer vetoes the Lake Front Bill in full, citing disposition of public lands along Lake Michigan in Chicago and issues of fair value, public trust, and the need for state oversight. He warns that granting fee simple titles to railroad companies without safeguards threatens public rights and municipal financing.
