Welfare gains pass as Illinois nears end of session
Springfield AP The legislature nears adjournment and votes on tax relief measures. The Senate approves a 5 percent cost of living increase for welfare aid, costing about 45 million, with a 12 million boost for 16 000 Cuban refugees. The package includes gasohol tax relief until mid 1982 and a later reinstatement. The House fights bilingual education funds and bankruptcy exemptions tighten.
