Illinois lawmakers push for a state government audit of the RLCD after a forensic audit cited improper spending and mismanagement. The House approved the measure 117 to 0 before it stalled 3 to 2 in the Senate committee. Woolard opposed the bill citing duplicate costs, while Sen. Jacobs and Rep. Forby urged a full state audit to uncover who is responsible and to justify the recent 4 percent water-rate hike.
