Kerner Eyes Patronage Shakeup In Illinois Governance
As Otto Kerner prepares to become governor in January, Democrats aim to gain patronage control in Will and Grundy counties while Republicans seek to maintain influence from the Stratton era. Kerner notes discussions with lieutenant governor-elect Samuel Shapiro and hints at reorganizing mental health services and financing state projects through contract-style payments. He also proposes a performance budget to separate capital expenditures from services.
