The executives of Clinton's recently opened Goodwill are under fire for a decision to pull paychecks from disabled workers. 

State Senator Andy Manar is calling for a full review of state contracts and funding awarded to Land of Lincoln Goodwill following the nonprofit’s decision to pull paychecks from disabled workers.

The nonprofit recently told dozens of workers with disabilities that they would be laid off due to the state’s increase in the minimum wage even though the one dollar per hour increase doesn’t take effect for five months and it is exempt by the U.S. Department of Labor from paying these employees the minimum wage.

In a statement Wednesday, Manar said quote - "An organization that eliminates opportunity for the most vulnerable people in the state while simultaneously driving up executive compensation should be ashamed of itself. Blaming a minimum wage increase that hasn’t even gone into effect and that does not apply to these workers after receiving an increase in taxpayer funding is unacceptable.”

The Bunker Hill Democrat points to a report that indicates the executive director of the Land of Lincoln Goodwill is currently making $164,000. Further tax records show that Land of Lincoln Goodwill raised executive compensation for two positions during the height of the budget impasse by $86,155 over 3 years. 

Land of Lincoln Goodwill currently receives nearly $400,000 in taxpayer-funded contracts and was slated to receive a 3.5 percent funding increase under the state’s new budget. 

Manar sent a letter to the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Department of Central Management Services and Governor JB Pritzker Wednesday asking for a review of all contracts with the nonprofit.

Meanwhile, Sharon Durbin, President, and CEO of the Land of Lincoln Goodwill released a statement saying quote - "  Our recent decision regarding the Voc Rehab program and the resulting harm it might have caused falls short of living up to our mission and we apologize for this error in judgment. We are reversing the decision to realign our Voc Rehab program and those participants affected will return to their part-time skills training program with pay."

Durbin apologized to their constituents, clients, and donors and says they will be working with lawmakers to make sure anyone willing to work can earn a living wage. 

Sen. Manar and officials from Goodwill were unavailable for comment at the time of this story
