Illinois' Governor Richard Ogilvie recently approved a $50,000 program for the study of a proposed new airport, whose construction could open up 2,500 new jobs. A big development company is interested in putting up 3,500 low-income housing units worth up to $80 million...

The Office of Education offered Boston 1.5 million dollars over three years if it would give up some of its control to the parent...
...slate. At first the Coop's organizers questioned a number of the Coop's employment and investment policies, where it quickly turned out that the Coop was in most cases doing a good deal already.
