Illinois House advances bill to create convention authority
The Illinois House endorsed House Bill 3461 to establish a Convention Center Authority with power to seek federal state and local grants for building convention centers. The measure envisions a five member initial board with later elections and could enable a Tinley Park site near 183rd Street and Harlem Avenue to expand into a larger regional facility.

Moran's Surprise Win in 6th District Hints at November Battle
William Moran, a little known Republican, won Cook County's 6th District commissioners race by over 2,800 votes amid little campaign activity. Moran, a Vietnam veteran, credited door knocking and veterans groups, while Democrats speculated about backers and tactical moves by party figures. Fleming barely prevailed over Panayotovich, setting up a contentious fall contest as Moran claims he will run a vigorous general election campaign.
