Former Rep. Ives calls for more oversight after taxpayer-funded grant went to convicted felon – Center Square

Former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, of Breakthrough Ideas, said Gov. JB Pritzker gave the money to Black Lives Matter Lake County, even though its leader has pleaded guilty to felony battery of a police officer multiple times. In addition, Ives said an investigation shows that there is no physical presence of BLM in Waukegan even though the group was required to open an office.
