The Sun-Times’ April 30 editorial —“Lawmakers shouldn’t rush to spend more money on flawed Peotone Airport plan” — gives sound reasons for opposing a bill moving through the General Assembly.
HB2531 would require the Illinois Department of Transportation “to pursue proposals within six months from developers interested in building a Peotone cargo airport.” The editorial also notes, “Gov. J.B. Pritzker ... wants assurance cargo carriers would use Peotone before he climbs aboard the idea.”
