"I'm disappointed that the House was unable to pass a long-term
funding plan for the CTA, Metra and Pace. This is the second time
the House tried and could not pass a transit funding plan. I
appreciate Speaker Madigan's effort to try to pass the funding plan
for the CTA, Metra and Pace. The message from the Legislature is
clear: Members will not pass a solution for the mass transit without
a capital infrastructure plan. Therefore, based on tonight's vote,
and in response to House Republican Leader Tom Cross's request, I am
calling the Legislature back into special session tomorrow to
consider the CTA funding legislation with a capital bill. We can't
afford any more delay. The Legislature must keep working until they
pass legislation that keeps the CTA, Metra and Pace running."
