Illinois Party Unity Holds for Illinois Waterford Airport Plan
Illinois politicians from both parties back a proposed second St. Louis area airport on the Illinois side near Waterloo. Former Gov. Shapiro first pushed the study in 1968, with support from Sen. Adlai Stevenson II and Sen. Charles Percy. The plan gained momentum under Gov. Ogilvie, tying to economic revival for East St. Louis and potential tax revenue, while Missouri allies show mixed support.
