Illinois Public Service Watch List

The districts listed below have resisted open government and financial transparency. By refusing to post their check register on their existing school website, we must assume that they 'have something to hide'. As a government watchdog organization, For The Good Of Illinois has filed Freedom of Information Act requests and we are posting their check registers online! In Illinois, the check register of any government entity is a public document. For The Good Of Illinois is committed to sunshine and reform of Illinois government.
Please review the registry... as a local person with common sense, please tell us what you discover.
