"We'd have to review the message and the action the governor took and his reasoning for it," said Patty Schuh, a spokeswoman for Philip. The governor also issued an amendatory veto on a bill to increase penalties for the sale of counterfeit merchandise. Edgar said the penalty provisions are confusing and do not contain a requirement for the person to know the items are counterfeit. He also said a requirement allowing police officers to seize items believed to be used in a crime is unconstitutional. The governor also signed bills that would: strengthen the power of the Comptroller's office to oversee cemetery trust funds.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) Gov. Jim Edgar used his amendatory veto powers Friday to change legislation that he felt threatened the freedom of the state's charter schools. The General Assembly this year created charter schools to grant more local control over the education process.

The schools are run by parents, teachers and community members under a charter free of many state and local regulations. But religious groups complained to Senate President James "Pate" Philip, R-Wood Dale, that these schools might tap into a federal program, called Goals 2000, which they said did not stress fundamental skills. Some GOP Senators said they could not support charter schools unless restrictions were placed on Goals 2000. The Senate tacked an amendment onto a House bill to require charter schools to obtain school board approval prior to seeking any state or federal funds. The House also approved the measure.

"By making this requirement so broad, we would undermine the original intent of charter school legislation," Edgar wrote in his veto message.

Burial: McLean Cemetery. Teamsters leaders ousted Allegations include mob ties, self interest CHICAGO (AP) Two top union bosses were ousted on the same day in the latest chapter of Chicago's checkered labor history a tale filled with labor leaders accused of being too close to the mob or too interested in lining their own pockets. Authorities swept into the Chicago offices of the Service Employees International Union Thursday and swept out Local 25 president Eugene P. Moats, amid accusations of nepotism and misappropriation of funds. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters needed a federal court order Friday to do the same thing after leveling similar corruption allegations at Teamsters Local 714, based in west suburban Berwyn.

Teamsters General President Ron Carey moved Thursday to replace Local 714 boss William Ho-gan Jr. and other officials with a temporary trustee, but Hogan loyalists blocked the trustee from the headquarters. Trustee John Metz, a Teamsters official from St. Louis, took control of the union Friday after a court order ensured his access to the headquarters and local records. None of the accusations have been proven, but they come as no surprise to the head of the Chicago Crime Commission, which has tracked labor's troubled past as part of investigations into organized crime.

"I don't think Chicago's unique in that regard. Wherever there's been a strong industrial, blue-collar base, you can consolidate a lot of power and there's the opportunity for corruption because there hasn't been any oversight," said Tom Kirkpatrick, the commission's executive director. In recent years, federal prosecutors have accused several unions of having mob ties and forced them to clean up their own organizations under the watch of government oversight panels. That has turned the spotlight on local chapters. "Maybe for many of them it's the first time somebody's looked over their shoulder," Kirkpatrick said.

"They sort of operate in fief-doms, unchallenged and unaccounted for." Chicago has been at the center of the battle. The Laborers International Union signed a federal consent decree in Chicago in February 1995 under which it moved to purge members with alleged mob ties and agreed to hold the first direct election of top offices in union history. In September 1995, the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union agreed to accept a federal monitor to settle racketeering charges. The union continues to be run by longtime leader Edward T. Hanley of Chicago, who has endured decades of allegations that his union is controlled by the Mafia.
