Conference pits GOP against Metro-East arts center bills
Illinois House Republicans oppose companion measures to build a Metro-East Performing Arts Center arguing tax revenues would be diverted. Senator Sam Vadalabene says the plan redirects horse racing tax proceeds to finance up to 15 million dollars in bonds while a separate fund would service debt. The bills aim to create an Exposition Authority and a dedicated revenue fund but face uphill votes in a Republican chamber.
