Moran Pushes County Reimbursement Plan for Fire Responses
Cook County Commissioner William R. Moran seeks a board resolution to reimburse local fire departments for extinguishing county forest preserve fires. Chicago Heights Chief Ted Brown and Steger Chief Elmer Joyce back the idea, noting costs from overtime and reserves. Moran suggests funding options include miscellaneous budget funds, higher forest preserve picnic permits, or increased fines, with approval needing nine votes and committee review if supported by the board.

Internet voting bill clears House by slim margin in Illinois
A bill to create a system for registered voters to vote over the Internet passed the Illinois House 61 to 48. Sponsor Rep. Louis Lang touted a supplementary role for Internet voting, while several south suburban members sided with the measure. Other noncontroversial bills moving to the Senate included raises for personal care attendants, a crime law targeting Internet impersonation, pet shop warning posters on salmonella, and senior ID cards.

The bill would avoid capping rates while tightening controls, with supporters citing 1 million loans in 1999 and critics warning of lender exits and borrower distress.
