House votes down World Music Theater pardon bill
Illinois House rejected a bill to exempt Tinley Park's World Music Theater from state noise rules by a 15 to 90 vote after debate over IPCB and IEPA enforcement. Sponsor Don Saltsman argued the theater created 600 to 700 jobs and faced harassment, while opponents cited fines and a pending lawsuit from Country Club Hills.
