Rod Blagojevich is pushing Illinois Works, his $25 billion construction plan, and he has enlisted the bi-partisan help of retired U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican, and Southern Illinois University President and former U.S. Rep. Glenn Poshard, a Democrat, to help drum up support. Hastert and Poshard will be traveling the state to find out what Illinois communities want to see in a capital bill.
