Legislature Extends Wine Council Funding Through 2006
The Illinois Senate joined the House in approving a measure to extend funding for the Illinois Wine Council at Southern Illinois University Carbondale through 2006. The vote was 55 to 2, sending the bill to Governor Blagojevich, who has signaled support for eliminating the funding but would need to sign any budget insertion. Local sponsors Sen. Kathleen Wojcik and Rep. Mike Bost argued the program aids wine growers and industry growth, while Sen. David Luechtefeld noted the industry aims to eventually operate without state money.
