Quotes by Andrew Ross
The current budget reflects this administration's current priorities. They wanted a budget that gives more money to schools. The legislators have other priorities. The budget also includes money for older projects. Those projects that we can afford to move on, we will. There are several hundred projects on hold waiting for review.
Governor (Rod) Blagojevich is committed to working to reduce gas prices by supporting ethanol as a practical alternative. It's a cleaner burning, cheaper alternative (than gasoline) and creates jobs in Illinois.
By making these kinds of investments, we're making companies across Illinois more competitive. Because the business climate is so competitive, businesses have to be able to change and react.
This is consistent with the administration's priorities to invest in programs that support education and health care.
These pieces of property have been underutilized and underdeveloped for far too long. This will help to clean up the sites, help to encourage private investment.
