Governor Pat Quinn issued an executive order Friday to eliminate 75 unnecessary state boards and commissions. This is a story we are following up on a story from our Springfield Capital Bureau Chief Steve Staeger. The governor conducted a review of the state's existing 391 boards and commissions and found a number of them were dormant, redundant or had completed their original mission. The reductions in boards is expected to save the state millions of dollars at a time when the state is billions of dollars in debt.
