Central Illinois lawmakers criticize the plan to keep facilities open while funds for busing costs remain cut. Several Republicans object to ongoing closures, with talks of further cuts and long term plans for four developmental centers and two psychiatric hospitals framed by a looming budget year.
Legislators and workers celebrate a $273 million deal that prevents the closure of seven state facilities including IYC Murphysboro and Chester Mental Health Center. Union leader Greg Foreman calls it a welcome reprieve though layoffs remain possible, while recreation therapist Justin Pickett faults the prior decision process and credits the forecasting committee for saving the Chester campus.
