• $250,000 – Communications Equipment for Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department

Melissa Bean wants the following:

• $675,00 – along with Peter Roskam – Atmospheric Detection Equipment For the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System at the Glencoe Department of Public Safety
• $300,000 – Turning Point
