Senate hearing lacks Lyons as Scott seeks funds
Illinois Senate Appropriation Committee considered Attorney General William Scott's request for 7.7 million next year. Chair Thomas Lyons was absent, removing a potential clash with challenger Lyons. Democrats briefly proposed shaving 100,000 from the 865,000 for contracted services, but then approved the bill as is. Scott defended the need for lawyers to prosecute pollution cases, noting 66 cases in three years plus 273 more prosecuted with EPA support.
