Illinois Governor Goes to Paris With Chicago Symphony Tour
Governor Thompson and his wife will join the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Paris for the tour’s Paris stop amid an eight-country swing. The trip is pitched as a low-cost tourism booster funded in part by a $250,000 state appropriation. Critics joke about optics while officials note airline and Embassy lodging arrangements with Trans World Airlines and DCCA staff accompanying the trip at an estimated cost to taxpayers of 10,000.
