[June 02, 2008]  SPRINGFIELD -- The following statement from Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich was released Saturday regarding the House Democratic leadership blocking the Illinois Works capital infrastructure plan:

"I want to congratulate three of the four legislative caucuses for their efforts to pass a capital plan. Senate President Emil Jones, Senate Minority Leader Frank Watson, House Minority Leader Tom Cross and the members of their caucuses worked diligently to pass a bill that would stimulate our economy and put people to work. These are tough economic times and people need our help. Despite the House Democratic leadership's effort to kill the jobs bill, this is only the beginning. We will continue our fight to create 500,000 jobs; fix roads, bridges and schools; and get our economy going."
