Gas plant bill should be vetoed
Bill 3766 might create jobs, but rates would be driven up significantly

Senate Bill 3766 was approved in the waning moments of the legislative session that ended in May after significant lobbying by the Leucadia National Corp., which wants to build a $3 billion synthetic gas plant on Chicago’s southeast side.
