An Illinois House committee passed an amendment for power plant legislation sponsored by State Representative Reggie Phillips. The bill would allow the construction of a small-scale power plant on the former FutureGen site west of Mattoon. The new plant could create an estimated 400 temporary construction jobs, and 40 to 60 full-time positions, with average salaries of $80,000 a year. The measure now heads to the House floor.
