Joliet Considers Blocking Salt Creek Ditch Plan
Joliet officials plan to urge Gov. Kerner to sidetrack the $20 million Salt Creek ditch and pursue rainfall impoundment at headwaters as a cheaper flood control. Local leaders warn the state project would push flood waters into the Des Plaines River and threaten downtown Joliet, with past floods highlighting the risk. City Council members Ned Grabowoy and Norman Keck advocate strong opposition, while Rep. Loughan probes funding for dredging. A broader regional flood review is urged, potentially linking future projects to recreation lake creation.
