In 2008, BPI’s Board of Directors determined that we should turn our attention to a new area of activity in our quest to serve the public interest:  political reform in Illinois.  Our goal is to address the culture of corruption that has become pervasive at all levels of Illinois government, and help restore open, honest, responsible and accountable government in our state.  Not a small challenge, by any measure.  But an important one.

 

Currently, BPI’s political reform agenda consists of three principal initiatives:

 

• PARTICIPATING IN CHANGE ILLINOIS! 
• STRENGTHENING THE ROLE OF INSPECTORS GENERAL IN ILLINOIS
• REPRESENTING CHICAGO’S INSPECTOR GENERAL
