I’m here this afternoon with Eugene Reineke, but you mentioned usually you’re known as Gene. Reineke: That’s correct, Mark. DePue: Why don’t you tell us where we are. Reineke: We’re here at my current employer, which is Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It’s a public relations firm, and we’re located at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. DePue: Which has a fascinating history itself. Someday I’ll have to delve into that one. We’re obviously here to talk about your experiences in the Edgar administration, but you had a lot of years working with Jim Thompson as well, so we’re going to take quite a bit of time. In today’s session, I don’t know that we’ll get to much of the Edgar experience because you’ve got enough information to talk about before that time, which is valuable history for us.

I was intrigued by this role reversal as I usually fi nd myself reaching out to donors like him for assistance as we deliver free legal services to Chicago’s most vulnerable. Mark and his wife Jennifer are people I deeply admire. They live and work in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago – a rough part of town – serving as urban missionaries to a community with real needs. During the call, Mark told me about a young man from his youth program who had recently had a run-in with the police. The 18-year-old (who I will call Jerome) was sitting on his porch on a steamy morning in July when four offi cers Table of Contents approached and questioned him about an incident that had occurred earlier that day. The engagement escalated as Jerome proved uncooperative in answering questions about an event he was uninvolved in and the offi cers responded with vulgarities and racial 4 Case Statistics epithets. Jerome eventually made a smart comment back to the offi cers – something akin to “one day I’ll be your supervisor” – and immediately found himself being carried behind the house for a beating. 5 Financial Summary I confess to some skepticism about the described events during my conversation with Mark; that is, until I saw the evidentiary photo- 6 Funding graphs which document Jerome’s open bloody cuts, welts and scrapes on his shoulder, buttocks, wrist, cheek, eyelid, neck and back.

Part 2 10 Why Do Inspectors General Matter? Part 3 12 How Should Inspector General Offices Be Designed? Part 4 2o How Well Are Illinois Inspector General Offices Designed? 39 Recommendations 42 Interviews 44 Endnotes 2 Foreword Business and Professional People for the Public Interest is a 42-year-old public interest law and policy center in Chicago. As the name suggests, the public interest is our interest. Two years ago, BPI agreed to represent the City of Chicago’s Inspector General in liti gation to enforce a subpoena served on the City’s Corporation Counsel seeking documents pertinent to an investigation of possible misconduct in the award of a City contract. In the course of our representation, BPI began to explore more deeply the role of inspectors general and applicable law. We found both well- and not-so-well-working inspector general laws and offices. This in turn prompted us to think about the positive effect well-designed and well-run offices of inspector general can have on the workings of government, indeed on democracy itself. This report presents a synthesis of our research and our recommendations for strengthening the role of inspector general offices in their efforts to combat government corruption.

Governor Jim Edgar and Judge Abner Mikva served as co-chairs. The task force examined the effects of the change from cumulative to plurality voting in Illinois House elections, gathered information about alternative electoral systems that are used throughout the world, and considered how and how well those systems work in other regions of the country and world. With that information in hand, they brought together leaders from politics, the media, academe, business, and nonprofit organizations for the Illinois assembly on Political Representation and Alternative Electoral Systems. The assembly met to explore the pros and cons of various electoral systems as they might be used in Illinois House elections. I am happy to present you with the final report of the Illinois Assembly. This report is very timely. Work on reapportionment and redistricting of local, state, and federal legislative districts has already begun.

A proud veteran, former law enforcement official and dedicated public servant, Larry faithfully served the needs and concerns of fellow citizens throughout his life. As the City liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities, he played an invaluable role in fostering cooperation, tolerance and understanding. As a pioneering State Representative, Larry was a strong and effective voice for his constituents and inspired us all with his selfless dedication to helping those in need. I send my condolences to the family and friends of Larry and hope you find comfort in his memory and the love he shared with you. His enthusiastic leadership and vision will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the communities and causes to which he dedicated himself so faithfully. Sincerely, Richard M. Daley Mayor General Assembly State of Illinois To the Family and Friends of Larry McKeon, As the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, I was honored to have served with State Representative Larry McKeon and to call him my friend. While it is true that Larry will be recorded in the annals of Illinois history as the first openly gay, HIV-positive lawmaker to serve in the General Assembly—a remarkable and important distinction, and the fact that may be most remembered—we should take care to never forget that he was also an exemplary human being and public servant.
