Kinkaid Lake bill advances from Senate committee
The Illinois Senate conservation committee approved the Kinkaid Lake bill 14 to 0, authorizing 4.8 million dollars for dam construction and 967 thousand for land purchases. The measure moves to the senate appropriations committee amid backing from Murphysboro officials and local groups, with opposition from the Kinkaid Property Owners Association over land take during expansion.
