*** IMPORTANT UPDATES *** The governor’s amendatory veto on the transit bill can be viewed by clicking here.
* Governor Blagojevich: “The General Assembly sent me a pile of horse manure to solve the CTA, and I see a pony in that by giving every senior citizen a free ride on buses and subway trains.”
* AP: A day after including free rides for senior citizens in the mass-transit bailout, the governor said Friday he’ll propose in his next budget that disabled people also ride without charge.
* Crain’s: Metra riders will still see a [ten percent] fare increase starting Feb. 1 regardless of any transit funding legislation that comes out of Springfield.
* Check back a bit later. Fox Chicago interviewed Speaker Madigan and they’ve asked that I share the link once it’s on their site.
Hopefully, there will be only one day of session left in January, unless the governor gets another wild hair. Anyway, that’s it for the week. It’s been… um… interesting. But aren’t they all with Rod in charge?
Head to Illinoize. They’re rocking these days…
* And before I go, this looks like the perfect song to sum up our week. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Chicago Transit Authority’s “I’m a man”…
I’ve got to keep my image
While I’m standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It’s just to keep them on my nose
You think that I’m not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I’ve never had no problems
‘Cause my body’s pretty strongI’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so
