for more than two years. In addition to the allegations about BMO Harris, the former staffers said Conyears-Ervin used government workers for her own personal benefit, including to plan her daughter’s birthday party and to be her bodyguard, in addition to broad claims Conyears-Ervin repeatedly misused taxpayer resources and pressured public employees to help her political allies.

Alisa Kaplan, executive director of Reform for Illinois, said Conyears-Ervin’s comments do not settle the questions.“If the treasurer used her position to pressure the bank to provide a mortgage or more favorable loan terms for her family’s personal gain, that is a clear violation of ethics rules and a deeply troubling abuse of her office. But we just don’t know enough yet to say whether that’s what occurred,” she said.
