Mass transit aid bill heads to Governor for approval
Springfield Illinois AP reports a $17.85 million plan to aid the Chicago Transit Authority and other mass transit systems has been forwarded to Gov. Daniel Walker for signing. The bill, the first operating grant for mass transportation in the state, was approved by both chambers after a Thursday conference committee compromise. Walker said he will consider the plan and favored using motor fuel tax funds, though the measure would use general revenue money. The conference committee scrapped a Senate plan for $20.25 million in bank loans.
