Friday FOIA: Jim Thompson’s Expense Report
Posted by Mike | May 2, 2008 | |
Following up on my post earlier this week questioning why Jim Thompson cares so much about the Illinois Sports Facility Authority purchasing Wrigley Field, I’ve decided to see if the former governor is getting any expenses reimbursed by the ISFA, for which he serves as chairman.
So this week’s Friday FOIA is a request for Thompson’s expense report and credit card receipts. It is very likely that he doesn’t have any and that the he serves as ISFA Chairman for free. But you never know until you ask.
Here’s the letter if you’re interested.
