Leaves ban revival sparks action in Illinois legislature
Illinois lawmakers revive a leaf burning ban for the states most populous counties. The measure previously stalled after a procedural dispute but gained new life as landscape waste provisions were added to another environmental bill signed by Gov. Edgar. The plan aims to strip duplicate language and send the leaf burning portion to the governor, with a vote possible in a special session on Chicago schools.
