In this May 29, 2017, photo, Illinois state Rep. Al Riley, D-Olympia Fields, discusses an issue on the House floor in Springfield, Ill. Riley, chairman of the State Government Administration Committee, is sponsoring a resolution calling for an audit of a $94 million, 10-year contract with Atlanta-based Morneau Sheppel for an online insurance portal. The Associated Press reported in June that the company was the only bidder for the work, was allowed to forgo state law requiring participation in the contract by minority- and women-owned firms, and faced complaints from state agencies and state employees that the online system didn't work.
