Illinois Industrial Authority bill sails through House
The Illinois House approved bills to create an Industrial Authority and a Board of Economic Development to spur southern industrial growth. Republicans called the plan socialistic while noting it would supersede several state planning bodies and control housing and flood programs. The five member authority would issue bonds, oversee grants, and fund projects with a $3 million revolving fund, headquartered in Chicago. Victor da Grazia is named executive director, with board members including the director of industry development, labor chief, and three appointees by the governor. Senate support looks uncertain amid GOP opposition and a pending committee vote.
