SUMMARY:2023 Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Investigative Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Join the Better Government Association for a night of celebration at the 2023 Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Investigative Reporting! \nThe awards highlight the impact of Illinois investigative and enterprise reporting as a reform tool within the context of state and local government waste\, fraud\, and corruption.  \nThe evening will be a celebration of awardees and include a conversation between BGA President David Greising and Megan Twohey\, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and a best-selling author who has focused much of her work on the treatment of women and children.  \nTwohey\, along with investigative reporter Jodi Kantor\, broke the story of decades of sexual abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein in 2017\, helping to ignite the #MeToo movement. Twohey and Kantor co-authored “Chasing the Truth” and “SHE SAID\,” inspiring the 2022 film by the same name.  \nAwards will be announced in two categories: Large Newsroom and Small Newsroom. In addition to the prestigious awards\, winners will take home $27\,000 in cash prizes.  \nTickets include an open bar (wine and beer) with heavy hors d’oeuvres. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:The 2012 Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Investigative Reporting
DESCRIPTION:The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Investigative Reporting recognize the best in government-related investigative reporting from across the Midwest region. \n \n\nWe are pleased to announce the winners for The 2012 Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Awards for Investigative Reporting: \nFIRST PLACE\nPension Games\nBy: Mark Suppelsa\, Marsha Bartel\, Jason Grotto\, Ray Long and Jodi CohenWGN-TV and The Chicago Tribune \nA tip from a frustrated worker to WGN-TV led the station’s investigative team to a vacant park\, where union sources revealed shocking abuses of Illinois’ pension system. \nThis secret discussion was the spark behind a four-month multimedia series that exposed waste and fraud within an already cash-strapped state pension system. \nThe station\, in collaboration with The Chicago Tribune\, learned\, among other things\, that the man in charge of the city’s Pension Board committed fraud by trying to ‘double dip’ his own pension; that a former legislator nearly doubled his pension by working on a one-month project for the dean of Chicago’s city council; and that one of Chicago’s most powerful union leaders convinced city hall to let him work an extra day as a laborer so that he could collect a nearly $160\,000 public pension. \nA team of five poured over government records and scoured multiple databases to clearly explain how private workers scammed the system to receive large public pensions. \nThe series led to a federal grand jury investation into the pension deals of nearly a dozen of union officials. The Department of Labor began to audit one of the city’s key unions and the Governor signed a bill that would help prevent pension abuse. \nSECOND PLACE\nBoth Sides of the Law\nBy: Gina BartonMilwaukee Journal Sentinel  In 2004\, off-duty Milwaukee police officers beat a man at a party. While investigating that story\, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Gina Barton learned that one of those officers had a criminal record prior to joining the police force. This finding drove her to ask: how many other officers\, if any\, also had criminal records? No one\, not even the Fire and Police Commission responsible for hiring officers\, had an answer. So Barton began to investigate. \nHer investigation revealed that more than 90 Milwaukee police officers have violated the very laws they are sworn to uphold. The offenses ranged from sexual assault to domestic violence to shoplifiting. The Milwaukee Police Department often turned a blind eye to this misconduct and the general public was kept in the dark about these officer’s criminal activities. \nThe Sentinel produced a multi-article series in 2011 that detailed the results of the investigation. In addition\, the paper created a searchable database that allowed the public to search department disciplinary records.  \nThe investigation’s impact was immediate. One officer was found guilty of sexual assault. The governor vetoed a proposed bill that would allow officers accused of criminal misconduct to stay on the payroll. And the chief of police rolled out a new program to support and discipline officers who struggle with alcohol dependency. \nTHIRD PLACE\nSuperintendent Payout\nBy: Kara Kenney\, Kevin Finch and Susan BattWRTV-ABC \nA short\, anonymous letter to WRTV-ABC in Indianapolis tipped off staff that a retired school superintendent was being paid for serving as a “Supt. Emeritus”. Curious\, Reporter Kara Kenney began to investigate. What she found was a retired superintendent accepting a $1 million retirement package that no one seemed to know about. \nKenney\, along with News Director Kevin Finch and Special Projects Producer Susan Batt\, also learned that school board members had no idea just how much the board will ultimately pay out to the the retired superintendent. The WRTV-ABC team also discoverd that school board members took lavish trips and received other expensive perks at a time when the the district was making drastic cuts in the classroom. \nThe retired superintenent is no longer on the payroll and Indiana lawmakers are considering legislation that would require more transparency in superintendent contracts. \n HONORABLE MENTIONS\nWayne County Confidential: Government Run Amok \nBy: Ross Jones\, Heather Catallo\, Ann Mullen\, Johnny Sartin\, Randy Lundquist\, Ramon RosarioWXYZ-TV Detroit \nShattered Trust  \nBy: Raquel Rutledge\, Rick Barrett\, John Diedrich\, Ben PostonMilwaukee Journal Sentinel
