Illinois Senate rejects branch banking moves amid aid protests
Illinois Senators voted 31 to 22 against amendments to permit branch banking changes, while Cook County Hospital protesters pressed for extra state aid. House debates on a $3 billion transportation budget proceeded without hikes to gas taxes or RTA funding, as Caterpillar faced a $6 million tax provision setback. Minimum wage hikes were approved in the House, set to lift to $3.35 by 1981 for adults and to $2.85 for teens.
