$11,232 is less than $100?
After searching through IllinoisOpenGov.org, a transparency initiative from the Illinois Policy Institute, the Illinois Department of Transportation has listed many items in “Equip, Not Elsewhere Classified, < $100-Vendors”, “Small Tools, Not Exceeding $100”, and “Office and Library Equip, Not Exceeding $100-Vendor” that are over $100. Ranging from $101 to $11,232, with many entries above $1,000, it appears odd that there would be so many purchases over $100 classified under $100. Perhaps, these classifications sum up many items under $100? This needs clarification.
To find this: go to IllinoisOpenGov.org, click Department of Transportation under Department, then under Category of Spending click the selections listed above, and then click Amount to sort from largest to smallest.
