Groups urge override of veto on child care funds
Springfield aid groups including Hoyleton Children's Home ask lawmakers to override Gov. Thompson's veto of 6.5 million for volunteer child care programs. Hoyleton could lose up to 70,000 needed to run services through next June, jeopardizing two Marion group homes and a Marion family counseling program. The coalition warns of higher future costs and reduced services for troubled youths if the veto stands.
