The Southern Illinoisan
This editorial discusses a proposed amendment to the Illinois constitution that would restrict the State of Illinois in how it uses transportation-related revenues. The editorial board urges Illinoisans to vote ‘no’ on the provision. Civic Federation President Laurence Msall is cited, noting that maintaining safe roads is not by default more important than maintaining safe schools, higher education, social services or providing a reasonable payment schedule to the State’s creditors.
