Pritzker reappoints IEMA Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau, but senators want more reform after payroll scandal – Chicago Sun-Times

Illinois Emergency Management Agency Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau, appointed by the governor in 2019 to lead the state agency that oversees disasters and crises like the pandemic and the influx of migrants, came under fire last year after it was reported an executive assistant accounted for $240,761.30 in billings — double the salary of her boss between February and August 2023. Her total billings to the state emergency agency in other contracting roles through August 2023 topped $1.03 million.
