Inactive Illinois Boards Get the Axe

A press release from Governor Rauner’s office:

Executive order abolishes 19 inactive state boards 

Chicago  – As part of an ongoing effort to streamline government and avoid wasteful spending, Governor Bruce Rauner today issued an executive order abolishing 19 boards and commissions that have been inactive for five years or more.

The move eliminates some entities that were created for a special but temporary purpose which has been fulfilled. Others are being abolished because they are redundant with other units of state government.

Over the years, either by statute or executive order, the state of Illinois has created more than 600 authorities, boards, commissions, councils, task forces, and other similar entities.

The action taken by the Governor today is the first step in a plan to eliminate more than 100 such entities in the months ahead.

The order does not invalidate any action undertaken or ratified by the eliminated boards and commissions.

In addition, though unlikely, any unexpected balances of appropriations, funds, grants, donations or other moneys available to the units will be transferred to the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) or an appropriate Department and expended for similar purposes.

Inactive Illinois Boards Get the Axe — 5 Comments

  1. Couldn’t the Jackal be assigned to them, or Jackal’s wife and brother and Daddy, like he tried with Blago????

    C’mon Cal, it would be nice to pad the Jackal’s resume of fakery.

    How about creating a new board: “Stupid Goyim Management Board” Jackal could be Chair!

  2. How about this board? “The Sunshine Interagency Coordinating Commission for Offshore Cat Protection Rapid Response.” Our sunshine blogger will be the coordinator, General Manager, Chief Operating Officer and free lunch sole beneficiary. Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeoooowwwww…

  3. Too little, too late.
    RINO Rauner can not escape the fate which awaits him in November.
    The LYING traitor’s fate is sealed.
