 IDOT announced
Tuesday that 140 employees will move to a new site in Springfield.
That means they won't have to decide whether to follow their jobs to
southern Illinois -- where the former governor wanted to move them.
IDOT spokeswoman Paris Ervin says the division's current lease in a
building near IDOT's headquarters expires Sept. 30. The division
will take up residence in a north-side building the state is buying.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Central Management Services
says that will save the state $1.7 million a year.
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich wanted to move traffic safety to
Harrisburg. Gov. Quinn reversed that decision last month.
