Mo Money

That's what a bunch of whiney Republican state lawmakers were putting forth a few weeks ago. But it looks like those Chicago bastards didn't get everything after all! From the WTAX web site:

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich says there's money in the new state budget to remodel Capitol Avenue and begin replacing the Stratton Office Building. Springfield Senator Larry Bomke says he'll work to hold the Governor to his word because that's all he has to go on. Bomke says there is a lump of unspecified funds in the budget the Governor can use at his discretion.

Let's hope we do see the money. The Stratton building really is an embarrassment.
