The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability (the CGFA) is seeking proposals to provide the CGFA with consulting services. The CGFA, which is a bipartisan, joint legislative commission that provides the Illinois General Assembly with information on various topics, is seeking the proposals based on the recommendation of its Commission members. At the Commissions January 12, 2009 meeting, the Commission voted to authorize an outside independent consultant to provide a study of the Illinois Treasurers proposed investment merger (Illinois Public Employees Retirement System - ILPERS) to identify areas of savings and/or additional costs.
