Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and Comptroller Dan Hynes sent a letter to thirty doctors and scientists conducting stem-cell research in Missouri.

In that letter, they argue that Missouri is among the places where the issue of state funding for stem-cell research hasn’t been resolved.

They say that - in contrast - Illinois is making public funds available for such research.

Hynes says by reaching out to scientists across the country, Illinois is proving it’s serious about becoming a center for stem cell research.
