Quinn signs bill to oust McPier board
By Kathy Bergen
| Gov. Pat Quinn this afternoon signed
legislation that will oust the board that oversees the operation of McCormick
Place, the nation’s largest convention center.
The 13-member board of the
Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, known as McPier, will be replaced
with a seven-member interim board charged with examining how to overhaul the
way the agency conducts the trade show business. The interim board will take
over in 30 days.
The legislation was
overwhelmingly
approved by the General Assembly about a month ago.
