Illinois Truck Speed Limit Stays 55 As Veto Override Fizzles

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich succeeded in preventing an override of his truck speed limit veto.
The Illinois House failed to muster enough votes to override the veto of a bill that would have let heavy trucks travel 65 mph on rural interstate highways.
The override required 71 votes, but failed 49-68 Tuesday, even though the bill got 81 votes when it passed the House in May.
