Energy funds questioned over use by Illinois agency
Illinois energy chief Sidney Marder acknowledged two men on energy funds earned over 19 000 each while doing work not tied to energy. One, Michael Adsit, reportedly assisted Governor Walker and performed other political tasks though Marder said he was mainly a liaison. State records show money also paid for a butler, a singer and a pianist at a state dinner for Sumatra's governor, prompting questions from Rep. Joe Lucco and cautious support from Sen. John Knuppel as budget details for the energy division show a 618 000 appropriation amid a 737 000 operations budget.
