Illinois House fails to elect state school chief in bid
Illinois House fell 10 votes short of approving a plan to elect the state school superintendent. The sponsor, Rep. Robert M. Terzich, said he would push for a vote again. If approved, voters could decide on electing the superintendent in November. Senate action blocked the measure, with a technical amendment needing full Senate readings before the deadline. The session also advanced tax relief, lobbyist disclosure, abortion coverage, strip mining, and school tax measures.
