IRTBA sues Cook County Over Safe Roads Amendment

The Illinois Road & Transportation Builders Association, along with a broad coalition of transportation advocacy groups, has filed suit against Cook County for violating the Safe Roads Amendment to the Illinois Constitution.

K-Five firmly believes the citizens of Illinois deserve safe roads and transparency concerning our tax dollars!
