Halted Construction
(( insert deep sigh here ))
latest in the stupid saga we like to call Illinois politics........
"Among the numerous financial headaches caused by Illinois' budget mess is $700 million in construction projects that Gov. Bruce Rauner halted in the summer, and officials have no estimate of how much more they'll need to dole out for stopping and, presumably, restarting them once there's a spending agreement."
"An Associated Press analysis of records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows when work stopped July 1, it affected 419 contracts affiliated with 218 job sites."
"About a dozen construction sites will need to be protected from winter at a cost of about $2 million, officials said."
