The Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting spent six months researching the state laws and practices in Illinois as part of the State Integrity Investigation. The State Integrity Investigation is a data-driven assessment of state laws and practices that deter corruption and promote accountability and transparency by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity. This is the second time the project has run.
