Illinois Senate tests 561 million bonding plan for state
The Illinois Senate reviews a 561 million general obligation bond package to fund college facilities, hospitals, prisons and other capital construction. The plan, key to Gov. Ogilvie’s budget, cleared the House after Democratic Republican talks with its fate in the Senate seen as favorable. House passage came with Democratic support in exchange for backing Chicago school and transit measures. The package aims to save 45 to 65 million over 20 years due to low interest rates while preserving Illinois’ triple-A credit rating.
