GOV, Lightford secures library funds [OP]
Oak Park Journal:
Where does this money come from? Do members get a fixed pot of money that they get to distribute as they see fit? Or did Lightford divert this money from general funds that could have gone anywhere in the state?
State Senator Kimberly Lightford (D-4th) has announced that she has allocated funds to be distributed to the Oak Park Public Library in the amount of $100,000 for capital expenses related to renovation of the Maze Branch Library.

As I wrote about Rep. Karen Yarbrough, incumbents get to shamelously hand-out money during elections.

Damn, Carl. I'm surprised at you. Lawmakers bring home the bacon and you bitch and complain. Isn't that why we send them to represent us? ----so that we can get our slice of the pie?
Forest Park certainly needed the 911 money in the police department and why begrudge the library of badly needed dollars to enhance it?
We want our share dammit!
