A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that then-state Sen. Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions, prompted by Chicago Sun-Times reports, about whether the money might have been misspent.
The garden was never built. And now state records obtained by the Sun-Times show $65,000 of the grant money went to the wife of Kenny B. Smith, the Obama 2000 congressional campaign volunteer who heads the Chicago Better Housing Association, which was in charge of the project for the blighted South Side neighborhood.
Smith wrote another $20,000 in grant-related checks to K.D. Contractors, a construction company that his wife, Karen D. Smith, created five months after work on the garden was supposed to have begun, records show. K.D. is no longer in business.

The attorney generals office in Illinois has lots of work to do. Start with the Governor and this senator. Full time job for those 2 alone.

Yeah that will be. Besides she is a KNOWN Conservative who BTW hates our Gov Blago King Emil Jones and the Chicago Machine politics yet she is from Chicago. Her father is Speaker of the House and is wanting to Impeach the Gov but knew the case was going nowhere in the Senate because of King Emil. Btw Lisa Madigan is thinking of running for Governor in 2010 and if she does I will more than likely giver her thee nod because she wants to end all pay for play politics ban all state contrators form donating to campiagns.

Thats the truth... That state has several issues going on there with bad representation.

then no wonder she's starting this invistigation...it will be heavily bais no doubt.
