Ill. official’s letter, not law, key to road work

A new law signed by the governor allows as much as $176 million to be taken out of a road construction fund.
But in a letter to a top Senate Democrat, Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider promises not to divert that much money from a $675 million plan for highway and bridge construction projects this year.
