SIU President Pushes for Capitol Bill SPRINGFIELD, IL (wsiu) - As lawmakers talk ethics... at least one local leader hopes they remember the capital bill.

The state legislature is meeting in special session this week... and SIU President Glenn Poshard has made the trek north to keep the capital bill on the minds of those who make decisions.

Poshard says unfortunately... things aren't looking good.

Poshard says the legislation approved in the House earlier this month is a good sign... but would mean significantly less in terms of funding and projects.

He says he remains hopeful there's a chance for the bill this year, but is not overly optimistic. © Copyright 2009, wsiu
