Gov. James Thompson denounces the Senate Democrats version of Build Illinois as politically motivated and likely to delay projects for years and cost too much. He urges rejection as spring session ends and critics say the plan would slow key projects while his own pay-as-you-go rival centers on tax proceeds from used car sales or bond financing.
