East St. Louis Industry Panel Fails In Senate Vote
Legislation to form a seven member East St. Louis industrial development commission was rejected 24 to 27 in the Senate. Sen. Kenneth Hall criticized the bill’s lack of support and questioned the process. Rep. Wyvetter Younge filed the measure in the House while Sen. James Roper called it a boon doggle and noted its eminent domain and $75,000 personal services within a $100,000 budget. Hall later moved to re-vote on a $100,000 appropriation but sent it back to committee.
