Illinois clears path for 791 million road program in 1976
Illinois can proceed with the full 791 million dollar road program in fiscal 1976 after approval of extra bonding. Transportation Secretary Langhorne Bond denied any deals with Republicans, noting the budget passed without a conference committee after opposition amendments failed. The DOT budget exceeds last year by about 100 million due to a one time windfall and federal funds, while gas tax revenue declines.

The Senate and House battled over the Capital Development Board spending bills in a struggle to rewrite capital and school construction funding. House members accused Senate amendments of reviving Gov. Walker’s accelerated building program while House deletions trimmed large items and added new projects. Debates centered on approving long term bonding up to 750 million and funding for East St. Louis vocational center, debt service grants, and the Springfield office complex while removing a 75 million expansion plan.
