Duffy to withdraw office from General Assembly Legislative Scholarship Program
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
September 29, 2009
Barrington,
Illinois – State Senator Dan Duffy (R-Lake Barrington)
announced his decision to withdraw from the Illinois General Assembly
Legislative Scholarship Program today.
“This
was not an easy decision,” said Senator Duffy. “It was based on my commitment
to fighting corruption, increasing transparency and fairness. Like many government
programs, the recipients of these funds are happy to receive them. However, I
have discovered that the Legislative Scholarship process has very little
oversight and it is not transparent. It is therefore subject to possible
corruption.”
The
26th District Senatornoted, “The
only way to reduce the misuse of funds is to remove programs that make it
possible. Unfortunately, the Legislative Scholarship Program is easy to abuse.”
“As
an Illinois State Senator, it is critical that I fulfill the promises I made to
my constituents,” explained Senator Duffy. “I have promised to fight
corruption, encourage job growth and keep taxes low. This decision is just
another step towards fulfilling those promises.”
By
law, each member of the General Assembly may award the equivalent of eight
years free tuition to anyone based on any criteria they choose.The only limitations are that the student
attend an
Illinois
state institution, live in the legislator’s district and is not a close
relative.
