Legislation to dissolve the Fox Waterway Agency is currently pending in the Senate. Senate Bill 2696 would dissolve the Fox Waterway Agency and transfer assets, property and responsibilities of the agency to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
For those who have let your thoughts be known regarding this legislation – many thanks to you.
Sen. Terry Link (D) has decided to postpone the legislation at this time. Please note that this does not mean the bill is “dead.” He still has three weeks to pass it through a committee. It is currently in the Senate Agriculture and Conservation Committee, but it could be moved to another committee.
