Illinois bill stalls as incinerator subsidies row drags on
In Illinois the Senate approved a rewritten O'Malley Murphy bill by 34 to 16 to end subsidies for garbage incinerators while preserving some for other incinerators. The House refused to accept the revised measure, leaving the plan in limbo as debate extends over 1994 budget and riverboat gambling. Local Robbins village actions to block subsidies from Reading Energy amid out of state trash disputes intensify opposition to the project.
