Illinois nuclear power disaster risk debated in Illinois
A rush of fear contrasts with science as Illinois hosts seven reactors at three sites with seventeen more planned. Officials discuss evacuation plans and their timeliness while critics say current plans lack detail and fail to ensure safe, rapid action for downwind populations. Authorities cite limited federal mandates, urging local readiness and contingency routes despite skepticism from residents.

House committee rekindles hope for Waterloo airport
Illinois officials and Congressman Mel Price won a partial victory as the House Appropriations Committee urged re adding Columbia-Waterloo to the National Airport System Plan. The move, powered by lobbying from Illinois Transportation Secretary John Kramer, aims to back a St. Louis area airport, despite Missouri opposition and non binding language. A Senate response and a House Senate conference must settle the dispute.

Brooke Senate ethics probes loan allegation in deposition
The Senate ethics committee opened a preliminary inquiry into whether Sen. Edward W. Brooke made a false statement in a Boston deposition and complied with disclosure rules. The probe follows revelations tied to his bitter July 1976 divorce and conflicting accounts of a $49,000 loan from A. Raymond Tye, which Brooke later said was not made.
