A judge has ruled that Cook County acted properly in their spending of nearly $240 million in transportation funds after a lawsuit was filed that alleged they had violated an Illinois constitutional amendment.
The county was found to have engaged MGT Consulting to assist it in determining how to allocate budget expenditures in compliance with the amendment. More than a dozen county departments were consulted as part of that process.
Conlon found that the county is “not spending transportation tax revenues on the ‘general costs of running a government,' as the plaintiffs in the case had alleged. The court also found that they interpreted the lockbox amendment more broadly than the plaintiffs in the case.
