UPDATE: STAR Bonds Floodplain Development
Subsidies
New STAR bonds bill to be introduced next session
Lawmakers negotiating over a bill that would create a new funding option in Illinois and pave the way for a $1 billion development in the metro-east have come up with a new bill two months after Gov. Pat Quinn's amendatory veto of the previous bill.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Tom Holbrook, D-Belleville, said that after meeting and negotiating with other state legislators Wednesday and Thursday, a new bill has been drawn up that would create sales tax and revenue, or STAR, bonds as a another funding resource for developers in the Land of Lincoln. But Holbrook would not reveal the details.
However, he said the new bill will not be introduced during the veto session, which concludes Friday. Rather, the new bill will eventually be released to metro-east municipalities to get feedback. Then, the bill will be introduced in the next session.
WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP TO DEFEAT THE NEW BILL NEXT SESSION!
