From Chuck Goudie of ABC 7 Chicago:
Governor Pat Quinn signed an order eliminating 75 state boards and commissions.Technorati tags:
The governor's move comes four months after the ABC7 iTeam exposed widespread problems with Illinois boards.
State boards and commissions are intended to draw citizens into government, keep elected leaders honest and make sure tax money isn't wasted. In Illinois, that hasn't gone too well.
As the iTeam reported last November, many boards became vast wastelands of political cronyism and hundreds of other board positions simply went unfilled. It was system that critics called costly and unnecessary.
