SPRINGFIELD AP A 126 million state school aid payment will be delayed this summer in a budget balancing move. Gov Thompson said the delay keeps the treasury on an even keel as the fiscal year ends June 30. The plan defers a June 126.4 million payment, with districts earning interest, and resumes the double June payment in 1984. lawmakers supported the delay amid concerns from some Democrats about passing the financial burden to districts.

Senate backs transit aid plan reorganizing Illinois RTA
The Illinois Senate approved a measure to fund mass transit with 45 million in state aid next year and reorganize the Regional Transportation Authority into the North East Transit System. The plan, backed by suburban mayors, would create a seven member board with appointments from Chicago and suburban counties, oversee the CTA and two offshoot boards, and start July 1 with increasing subsidies sourced from a share of Cook and five collar counties sales taxes. The five suburban counties could leave the new agency after three years.
