Illinois DNR Layoff Notices go out to 33 Officers
As of August 4, 2015 there is still no budget for the State of Illinois and because of that layoff notices have gone out. Notifications went out to 33 Conservation Police Officers (CPO) across the state. The letter stated that this was due to lack of funds effective September 30, 2015. This could leave about 34 counties in Illinois without a Conservation Officer. See the layoff notice here. |
