Rep. Weaver Joins ‘Chicago Tonight’ to Discuss Transit Bill
Rep. Weaver Joins 'Chicago Tonight' to Discuss Transit Bill
November 6, 2025
Yesterday, I joined the WTTW 'Chicago Tonight' Program to discuss the Chicago-area transit bailout bill that was passed during veto session last week. I believe that the people I represent, along with all of downstate Illinois, got absolutely robbed on this. The road fund split that is typically 55-45 for downstate is now 85-15 for Chicagoland, and that is not fair.
This sweeping $1.5 billion transit funding package completely reshapes how the CTA, Metra, and Pace are governed and funded. More coverage here: Illinois Lawmakers Weigh in on $1.5B Funding Package Set to Reshape Chicago-Area Transit | Chicago News | WTTW
