Illinois airport dream stalls amid party pressure
Democrats and Republicans push back as the Federal Aviation Administration weighs a late fall decision on promoting the Illinois project. Critics warn an early endorsement could clash with Governor Ogilvie’s exit and Missouri interests, while 90 percent of area users come from elsewhere. Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale is cited for championing a national Thanksgiving Day.
