Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends that the Western Illinois Economic Development Authority Board consist of 17 members (rather than 23 members) and makes corresponding changes. Recommends that the 15 public members (rather than 8 public members) be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and that each county within the territorial jurisdiction of the Authority shall be represented by at least one public member. Deletes provisions allowing the county board chairmen of certain counties to appoint one member each and makes corresponding changes. Recommends that the 15 original public members serve staggered terms and that their successors be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for 6-year terms. Recommends that the Authority may engage the services of the Illinois Finance Authority (rather than "other agents and employees") and certain other consultants if the Authority deems it advisable. Recommends that the Authority have the power to utilize services of the Illinois Finance Authority necessary to carry out its purposes (rather than the power to employ agents and employees necessary to carry out its purposes).
