Pritzker seeks end to hiring oversight as watchdog details more patronage – Illinois Policy

Noelle Brennan, the court-appointed attorney who acts as watchdog for agencies Pritzker controls, disclosed to the courts she’s still looking into the hiring last year of four employees by the Illinois Capital Development Board. At least two didn’t meet the minimum requirements in the job description. Two of the employees were fired from earlier state jobs and have “apparent political connections,”and another employee in the group is the son of an unnamed senior official at the board.
