Bicycle path bill nears CTA funding showdown in Springfield
Sen. Sam Vadalabene's bicycle path bill stalled CTA aid as House amendments sought a 56 million package for Chicago Transit Authority. The measure offered 40 million in a state loan and 16 million grant but was ruled not germane. The House sent the bill to Gov. Walker after a 109 0 vote, while Democrats pressed for CTA funding and an Edwardsville exposition center stalled at final passage.
