Tax amnesty aids Illinois economy amid slower 2005 growth

Illinois economy heals slowly as tax amnesty revenues boost 2004 totals but do not recur in 2005. The Economic and Fiscal Commission notes base revenues may rise $37 million, offset by one time gains and postponed sales, with 2004 one time proceeds and a riverboat license sale shaping 2005 expectations. Manufacturing stalls but gains in goods sectors, while unemployment remains higher than the national rate.

Blagojevich roadmaps prison closings amid budget shortfall

Governor candidate Rod Blagojevich promised the Illinois FOP he would not close prisons to balance the budget. More than a year later he proposes shutting Vandalia Correctional Center to cover a 1.7 billion shortfall, saying new facilities boost safety. FOP Lodge 263 president Larry Stephens questions the pledge. Public safety is cited as the reason, with the administration noting safer operations in newer prisons. Stephens warns closures would harm local economies and strain the system.
