Senate GOPs Defeat Curbs On Toll Road Bills
Springfield July 1 The Senate defeated Democrat toll road bills and approved only two mild measures backed by the Stratton administration. The bills sought to curb the Toll Road Commission with a six member legislative panel and Senate approval of commissioners. The votes showed a partisan clash as Republicans blocked the Democrats while Lt. Gov. William Chapman presided. The commission plans a 400 million dollar bond issue for 193 miles of toll roads amid delays blamed on lawsuits and politics.
