The Vendor ID issue seems to be most relevant here from the standpoint of management of public money.
I work in the private sector and if I want a payment of more than $5k to be issued (even to one of our venders) you need sign off from at least 2 people.
Have you contested the denial of vendor info from your foia with the Attorney General?

Don’t they have to give cite some part of the statute when denying info?
I didn't specifically FOIA the account number, that came from some work done by Patch. I probably could construct a request to see if I can get just the account number. My guess is they would deny for Section 7 (kk) The public body's credit card numbers, debit card numbers, bank account numbers, Federal Employer Identification Number, security code numbers, passwords, and similar account information, the disclosure of which could result in identity theft or impression or defrauding of a governmental entity or a person.
They would probably claim that it's a security risk because as long as I have the account number, I can defraud them and I guess .. they wouldn't be wrong..
The IL AG is not super useful anymore, they're so backlogged it would take years for them to adjudicate this. I'd have to sue - definitely an option.
