Illinois state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, right, talks about Gov. Pat Quinn's anti violence program as State Sen. Matt Murphy listens during a news conference Wednesday, June 25, 2014, in Chicago. A published report says Quinn's scandal-plagued anti-violence initiative directed thousands of dollars to a program for ex-offenders that never existed. Project Hope Inc. received $15,770 in state money through the 2010 Neighborhood Recovery Initiative. Quinn's program already is under federal and Cook County investigations, and has been the subject of legislative hearings at which former state officials have been subpoenaed to testify.
