Thompson vetoes Illinois enterprise zone proposal
Gov. James Thompson vetoed a General Assembly plan for urban enterprise zones, calling it flawed and too vague with no job creation link. He supports local control and federal aid but argues the bill would provoke prohibitions on subsidies and hinder land assembly, urging a studied commission instead. Senator Donald Totten announced a 1982 lieutenant governor bid and was unavailable for comment in Washington.
