CHICAGO (AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn's administration chose a Chicago social-service provider to distribute millions of dollars in anti-violence money, just months after state audits raised serious questions about the way the group was handling money, according to a published report. According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times (http://bit.ly/1gu4HgP ) on Sunday, the selection of the Chicago Area Project on the city's West Side four years ago came even after the state determined that the group's problems were serious enough to ask for the return of more than $200,000 in bills paid for a separate summer jobs program. [...] the article is the latest chapter in a story about the anti-violence program that has dogged Quinn for weeks and could hurt the Democratic governor as he seeks re-election against his Republican challenger Bruce Rauner. Months later, another now-defunct agency in Quinn's administration, the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority, put CAP in charge of $4.15 million in Neighborhood Recovery Initiative funding in two Chicago neighborhoods.
