CONCURRING OPINION

(by Mr.

You:ig)

Although

I concur that additional litigation and further

delay in the initiation of

a compliance program in this case

are not in the best interest of the people of Illinois,

I

have

a serious

reservation about allowing

a donation to an

educational

institution

in

lieu

of

penalty

i.n

settlement

of

complaints charging violation

of

the

Act

and

Regulations.

would not do so now but for the fact

that.

the Board has approved

settlement stipulations incorporating such provisions

in the

past.

I do not approve of the practice and believe that it

should be discontinued after

this date.
