Thompson and GOP Leaders Discuss Chicago Area Road Program
Gov. James Thompson met with Republican leaders to seek support for his transportation plan, a net 263 million dollar tax increase. Rep. Peter Peters called the session calm as Thompson detailed the program point by point, while expressing willingness to work with the legislature to gain approval against opposition. The proposal includes a 142 cent gas tax hike and sales tax increases for the six county Regional Transportation Authority around Chicago, with lawmakers wary of the negotiations and overall feasibility.
