Member Initiatives

During the fiscal years 2000 and 2001, Gov. George H. Ryan and the four top leaders in the Illinois General Assembly made 6,685 grants for public works projects from a pool of Illinois FIRST money. All of the money but Ryan's portion is termed "member initiative" funds and is controlled by the legislative leaders. Ryan also sponsored his own projects across the state.
