    As unemployment continues to skyrocket - a bill that would create jobs is collecting dust in Springfield.

     

    The 29 billion dollar capital bill has passed both the house and the senate. But legislatures say the bill hasn't been forwarded to Quinn because the governor won't look at the plan until a state's budget is passed first.

     

    Comptroller Dan Hynes says the governor's hard stance on the budget is 'inciting fear and panic in people.' Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and area unions say the capital bill would help get many local residents out of the unemployment line. The bill could go to the governor as early as next week.
