Dem leaders want state to pay for Obama Center-related road projects
Chicago Sun Times, Oct 3, 2017

Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan — the Chicago Democrats who control the Illinois General Assembly — are mapping plans for the state to help pay for infrastructure improvements in and around Jackson Park related to the Obama Presidential Center.

The two leaders “are looking for a commitment from the governor to support road projects that would support the Obama Presidential Center,” Cullerton told the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office did not respond to a request from the Sun-Times for a comment on state assistance for road projects associated with the future Obama Center.

Oh, wait .... never mind.
