SPRINGFIELD — A probe into grants linked to former state Rep. Constance Howard appears to be deepening after federal investigators issued a new subpoena this month, less than two weeks after she relinquished her House seat.
The July 18, 2012, subpoena, which came to light in a Thursday response by the House clerk to an open-records request by the Chicago Sun-Times, sought “all notes, minutes of meetings, transcripts of meetings or reports” issued between 2000 and 2007 by the Computer Technology Committee, a now-disbanded House panel Howard once chaired.
The subpoena issued by the U.S. attorney’s office in Springfield also asked House officials to provide “any reports to/from the Constance A. ‘Connie’ Howard Technology Scholarship Fund or records of any grants or disbursements awarded to that fund.”
