A proposed change to Illinois' constitution would ensure the state has a solid stream of cash going to fund road projects.
Voters will decide if the state should put constraints on money raised through license plate fees and motor fuel taxes ... by forbidding that money to be used on other needs.
Governor Bruce Rauner won't say whether it's a good idea or not.
"I, definitely have always had a view on it ... I'm just not going to comment on it.
A well-funded campaign backed by (both) business and labor (groups) is calling on voters to choose "yes." They say too much money intended for roads has been swept for other uses ... and this will keep roads and bridges safe. Critics say it's writing a gravy train for contractors and labor unions into the constitution. They also say it will leave lawmakers hamstrung to make budgeting decisions.
Rauner says there are pros and cons ... but he didn't elaborate.
