Legislation Could Cut County Election Costs
Walker has not acted on two bills backed by the Urban Counties Council of Illinois that would merge county board member elections with the general election. Kane County spent about 200000 on a past special election, and DuPage County’s Gerald Weeks says combining races could save up to 1 million. The bills, co sponsored by Senators Kneupfer and Benning, passed legislature but await action after June 30.

State fair draws walkers and lookers, few buyers
State fair in Springfield ends after nine days with livestock shows auto races and concerts. Officials expect gate receipts to be down about 100000 while attendance reaches 660000 to 670000, far below hoped 750000, as concessionaires report strong pedestrian traffic but weak purchases. Taxpayers fund the event at about 1 million dollars annually.
