Illinois Highway Study Commission Seen as Boondoggle
The Illinois Highway Study Commission faces criticism over a near runout of its $50 000 appropriation with most spent on travel by 17 members. Chairman William Grindle led vouchers totaling 7996 for coast to coast trips. other members used own cars and some rented vehicles. The panel hired and dropped a public relations firm after 3 months at 3773, held many closed meetings, and submitted its report two months late.
