Senators Durbin and Obama Push Illinois on Funding
A bipartisan group of Illinois congressmen led by Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Barack Obama sent a message to Governor Blagojevich and the legislative caucus leaders last week encouraging them to work together to develop a FY 08 budget that includes funding for capital projects. If the State does not come up with its matching funds of $1.6 billion it could potentially lose over $6 billion in federal project funds. Perhaps this push will encourage our representatives to work together to craft a new budget.
