Emergency Management would receive $7M for capital projects under Rauner budget

Budget 11

Less than a tenth of 1 percent of the governor's 2019 capital budget request would fund Illinois Emergency Management Agency projects, according to a state analysis.

In all, the budget includes $7 million for the agency.

All the funds for the projects come from the Build Illinois Bond Fund.
