Kirk Wants More Private Partnerships for Illinois | NBC Chicago

My participation in today’s event reflected my belief that we should be trying to find common, bipartisan ground to provide alternative financing for transportation at a time when revenue is in short supply. At the same time, privatization is no substitute for robust public investment. CREATE is a great example of a successful public-private partnership; I have helped garner $333 million in federal money, $300 million in state money, and over $120 million in private money for this critical Chicagoland program.
