Illinois is investigating bankruptcy filings by two state parole board members after recent newspaper reports highlighting the personal financial problems of several political appointees.A spokeswoman for Gov. Bruce Rauner tells the Belleville News-Democrat that officials are examining the bankruptcy claims of Illinois Prison Review Board members Adam Monreal and Eric Gregg.
Monreal is a former board chairman who in 2011 declared annual income of less than $40,000 while earning more than $90,000 from the state.
The state is also examining whether Gregg improperly received $48,000 in annual outside income while on the state board. The former Harrisburg mayor has said the additional pay should have been entered under his wife's name.
A May bankruptcy filing by parole board member Vonetta Harris of Swansea remains pending.
