Breaches in Security Found in Illinois State Offices That Process Tax Returns
Auditor General William Holland of Illinois found breaches in security in Illinois offices that process 3.4 million tax returns and uncovered questionable “irregularities” in the awarding of a controversial $2 billion lottery-management contract.
In the agency’s Chicago and Springfield tax-processing offices, full- and part-time employees who handled confidential tax returns were permitted to carry personal cell phones equipped with cameras, said a Chicago Sun-Times report.
