Thompson OKs state coal office and limits on bonds
Gov James R Thompson signed into law bills to restrict pollution control bond financing to projects using Illinois coal and to create an Office of Coal Commerce in the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. The office will aid developers, compile site catalogs, and speed permitting while bonds prioritize Illinois coal projects and scrubber tech. Thompson framed coal use as a future resource to reduce dependence on oil producers.
