“The leader of a Chicago-based environmental group said a ‘perfect storm’ of funding problems will force it to close for good on Friday,” WBEZ reports.
“Over the past 16 years, Chicago Wilderness doled out more than $11 million in grants to nearly 200 conservation groups and businesses in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, said Chicago Wilderness Executive Director Suzanne Malec-McKenna.
“The funding went toward initiatives like protecting ecosystems around the southern shores of Lake Michigan to native plant and animal conservation.”
Rauner’s role: “The funding started to decline the last few years, Malec-McKenna said, largely thanks to Illinois’ state budget woes that resulted in cuts to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.”

Let’s not get too excited about testimony Michael Flynn may give; you might as well have Alex Jones up there. He just wants the immunity.
