Chicago Tribune | Court rejects state use of charity fund

Chicago Tribune | Court rejects state use of charity fund: "Court rejects state use of charity fund

Published December 23, 2004

A federal appeals court in Chicago on Wednesday ruled that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was wrong to try to tap the funds of an environmental foundation to help solve the state's fiscal crisis.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that favored the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, a private charitable trust run by trustees who are mostly appointed by the governor and legislative leaders."
