Illinois considers shielding state investment records from public view
A Senate committee approved a measure to shield state investments made with public funds from FOIA scrutiny. The bill would allow disclosures only of overall firm performance, drawing opposition from media advocates and officials who say public dollars must remain transparent. The proposal, linked to venture capital interests and Illinois economic plans, faces skepticism over pension fund safety and state investment options.
