6statewide economy for the benefit of all Illinoisans; and

21 WHEREAS, Construction of the new train stops would create

2 WHEREAS, Local businesses that manage these construction 

3projects would thrive and further stimulate the Illinois 

4economy; and

5 WHEREAS, President Biden unequivocally signed off on this 

6funding, and the Chicago Transit Authority later secured a 

7legal obligation from the federal government that the money 

8would be released; and

9 WHEREAS, President Trump
