Illinois Comptroller Still Wants More Money for Embryonic Stem Cell Research

January 5, 2007

The debate of whether to put more money into stem cell research is expected to heat up again during the spring legislative session. Comptroller Dan Hynes says he’ll re-introduce a plan he pushed last year, calling for as much as $100 million in tobacco settlement money to go toward stem cell research. Hynes says he knows it won’t be as much of a political debate as a moral one. (WJBC)
