Accord Reached On Nursing Home Reimbursements In Illinois
Springfield AP Backers of a plan to overturn Gov. Thompson veto on nursing home aid secured a compromise expected to cost the state 8 to 9 million dollars, far below the 22 million in the bill. Rep. McMaster said changes would set a new reimbursement level via administrative actions. Senate also endorsed a Medicaid cost containment plan to save about 106 million and reduce projected fiscal year spending to 843 million from 949 million.

Illinois House Rejects Enterprise Zones Veto Override
The Illinois House failed to override Gov. James R. Thompson's veto of the enterprise zones bill 95 to 72, sending the reform plan toward the legislative scrap heap. Critics called it economic snake oil while supporters argued for private investment to revive blighted urban areas with tax breaks and eased regulations.
