Activist Charges Conflicts In Some Illinois Capital Funding For Religious Groups

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

There are new developments in the campaign by Chicago activist Rob Sherman to challenge state legislative appropriations to houses of worship, parochial schools and religious institutions in last year's Capital Bill. (See prior posting.) Last month he filed a challenge with the State Government Suggestion Award Board. In a posting on Friday, Sherman charges that some of the challenged appropriations are to religious organizations on whose boards legislators themselves sit. In one case, a legislator is the CEO of the religious organization slated to receive funds. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
