Illini budget expert criticizes discretionary grants amid Illinois FIRST program dispute
Charles N. Wheeler III says lawmakers treat grants as entitlements as Illinois FIRST funds expand. The budget program created a separate grants fund overseen by House Speaker Michael Madigan and others, receiving 780 million in year one and 380 million and 300 million in the next two years. Critics question recipient selection while investigations by the FBI and attorney general probe several grants including 50 thousand to Elim Christian School in Palos Heights tied to Daniels campaign contributors.
