The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Collinsville, was approved 12-0 Wednesday by the House Appropriations Public Safety Committee. That bill would provide IDOT with about $20 million, including about $7.3 million for vehicle operation. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/IDOT-Budget----FRI
