Pritzker issues item vetoes of spending accidently included in Illinois budget, including $500B typo – ABC7 (Chicago)

The biggest error can be found on page 430 of the bill, where $500,250,000,000 was allocated to the Chicago Westside Branch NAACP for operating expenses in a grant from the Department of Human Services. And on page 93, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will receive $1.7 million rather than $17 million for seven grants for violence prevention, youth employment and operational expenses.

‘Typo’…sure JB the Hutt.

Illinois is bankrupt due to NGO spending in general. Anyone know why The Hutt pays the NAALCP? Vote buying. Pure and simple.

DEFUND ALL NGOs.
