Former Legislative Inspector General to Head Project Six

The former Chicago City Council Inspector General, Faisal Khan, is back in the investigative seat. He served as City Council’s Legislative watchdog and is now heading up Project Six, a new government monitoring organization.

Project Six describes itself as an “independent, non-profit organization dedicated to investigating, exposing and ending government corruption in Chicago and across Illinois.”

It was initiated by and is affiliated with the libertarian-leaning think tank Illinois Policy Institute, an organization that has received more than $500,000 from Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Project Six has a separate board of directors and will not disclose its list of funders.
