Senate blocks Illinois telecom rate bill amid questions
Illinois Senate halted a measure that would raise SBC charges to access rivals such as AT&T MCI and Sprint. The vote failed 27 to 30 after a parliamentary move by Sen. James F. Clayborne Jr. II to delay a roll call, leaving open a potential return vote. Governor Rod Blagojevich has not committed to signing or vetoing the bill.
