Thompson demands RTA pledge before funding release
Gov. James Thompson said he will release the next 23 million in tax revenue to the Regional Transportation Authority only after RTA Board Chairman Lewis Hill assures him and U.S. District Judge Thomas McMillen that funds will be distributed fairly across Chicago and suburban carriers. He seeks a commitment that the six-county district will receive speeded-up revenue, with previous payments used to keep the Chicago Transit Authority operating amid suburban carrier pressures. Hill was to brief McMillen on whether Milwaukee Road payments could rise.
