Springfield received just under $34 million. Ramona Metzger, director of the office of budget and management, listed some of those projects: “There were water fund capital projects, lead service line, tourism, Olde Towne Apartments, the demolition for that. The library, we replaced the elevators. There was also the firehouse and fire equipment."
Can any of these dim political animals explain exactly what that had to do with The Coof?
They can’t. This was yet another pile of confiscated taxpayer cash grifted into the pockets of friends and family of Illinois political animals.
