White business owners are biggest share of Illinois’ diversity-preferred contract group – Center Square

Increasing the size of the certified group is a primary charge of the commission, which was formed by state lawmakers in 2022 and given annual budgets of about $7 million. Each of the seven, governor-appointed commissioners who oversee the efforts are paid about $150,000 annually, and they are allowed to work other paid jobs. They also have a staff of more than 30 people.

What connection does the lucky 7 have to JB?
150k salary with 30 minions underneath them?? What is their salary?
Sounds like taxpayers are getting stiffed again, and the lucky 7 can also work a second job with all their free time? Come on !!! Bring in the feds it’s long overdue

Illinois can save $7 million dollars by abandoning this effort and awarding contracts on merit.
