MEG representatives to seek restoration of funding in meeting with governor
Drug enforcement units from Metropolitan Enforcement Groups plan a Friday meeting with Gov. James R. Thompson to urge restore state funding. The Southern Illinois Enforcement Group faces a 110000 annual cut starting July 1 if funds are not returned, under Thompson's proposed budget eliminating MEG funding statewide. Carbondale Mayor Hans Fischer leads the MEG advisory board and will chair the eight unit group in the talks, with one representative per MEG unit to keep a low profile. Attorney General Tyrone Fahner and James Zagel will join to back the effort and present law enforcement views. Fischer said the MEGs hope to persuade the governor to restore funding.
