Expenses to the Wolf Point Hotel Company
Using our transparency website, IllinoisOpenGov.org, I found that the State of Illinois spent $3,602 on expenses to the Wolf Point Hotel Company in 2008 and $19,987 in 2009 (by the time of our FOIA request). In 2008, the expenses were fairly evenly spread amongst three departments, but in 2009, the Department of Public Health spent $18,174.76, which is over 26 times more than the next department. The table below breaks down the expenses by year and department.
While many of the expenses from other departments were for travel, the Department of Public Health spent $8,012.50 on meeting rooms, $5,212.26 on catering, and $4,950 on “Rental, Film/Audio/Visual Aids.” It sounds like the Department of Public Health spent $18,174.76 on an event, but the information we were provided does have any further details.
