$20K on Toilet Paper
How much does the Department of Employment Security spend on toilet paper? Using our transparency website, IllinoisOpenGov.org, I found it spent $15,929.95 on toilet paper in 2008, and $4,577.92 in 2009 by the time of our FOIA request.
The Department of Employment Security had two vendors listed for toilet paper. Between 2008 and 2009 Office Depot received $19,695.47 and Garvey’s Office Plus Inc received $812.40.
To find these expenses on the IllinoisOpenGov site, go to “Checks to Businesses & People” and scroll down “Category of Spending” to “Biodegradable Toilet Tissue Fo,” “Sn 2535 Tissue, Toilet (436-6,” and “Sn 2535 Tissue, Toilet (436-67.”
