Walter & Connie Payton Foundation
Most of the articles about the foundation say that the foundation supports the DCFS. It looks like the reverse is true. These funds are supposed to be for the Children and Families of Illinois, why are our tax dollars going to a charitable foundation? Aren't foundations like these supposed to give money? Can you find an annual report for the foundation at the website, that discloses how these funds are being used?
