Illinois faces record fiscal chill as Blagojevich freezes spending
In his first days as governor Rod Blagojevich imposed freezes on state vehicle purchases hiring and member initiatives amid a $5 billion budget gap. He vows to shield K 12 schools health care and prisons from cuts while eyeing new taxes on some services and potential riverboat gambling to raise revenue. Senate Republicans challenge the $5 billion shortfall forecast and the plan to expand regulation looms with ethics and human rights legislation on the docket.
