Raoul Seeks Increased Funding For Attorney General Office

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul says his office is requesting an additional $15 million for fiscal year 2027. Raoul told the Illinois Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday that his office generated $21.45 in revenue for every taxpayer dollar the office received for operations over the last seven years. State Sen. Don DeWitte, R-St. Charles, asked Raoul if it was a good investment of taxpayer dollars when most of his cases against the Trump administration were thrown out at the federal level.
