January 9, 2023
SPRINGFIELD – State Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Cherry Valley) says Senate Democrat leaders forced through legislation Sunday night that strips local control from county officials when siting wind and solar energy projects in and around Illinois communities. House Bill 4412 was passed by a partisan vote of the Senate on Jan. 8. It now moves to House of Representatives for consideration.
