Illinois has no requirements that Governor Rod Blagojevich reveal any of his personal financial information.
That’s the finding on a report by the Center for Public Integrity released Thursday.
Illinois ranks 37th with a score of 54 out of 100. Here’s the score sheet.
Here’s the methodology.
The items examined were
- Filing – how often are governors required to file reports?
- Extent – what information and level of detail are required?
- Access – how much public access do the state agencies provide to the information?
- Enforcement – what audit authority does the state have?
- Extra – do elected officials besides the governor file? What about non-elected officials?
