“This is a new one on me,” said Brent Manning, who was DNR director under Republican Govs. Jim Edgar and George Ryan. “I’ve never heard of this before.” A Don Bailey flyer marketed the land as a “sportsman paradise” loaded with ducks, turkey, deer and other wildlife. And in a statement to the Tribune, the Illinois DNR said the property is a “beautiful piece of ground” that’s benefited from hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of restoration under the federal wetlands easement program, making it “essentially a turnkey site.”
Walling said she would prefer to see the state develop a broader strategy to address and promote recreation, outdoor tourism and climate adaptation. Richland County records show a land transaction that cost the Baileys $533,600, and Wayne County tax stamps indicate a roughly $387,000 land sale, though it is unclear if there is any overlap in the total dollar amounts listed with the two counties.
In 2007, DNR officials under Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich heard a pitch for a much bigger tract than what was eventually acquired, but state officials rejected the purchase due to funding constraints, records showed. Wayne Rosenthal, the DNR director under Rauner, said he did not think there was “anything political” surrounding the land sale, but that it was the No. 1 parcel the agency’s team of reviewers sought for that southeast area of the state, part of DNR’s “mission to provide opportunities for people to get in the outdoors.”from DNR’s files, priced the ground at $2,100 an acre, but an appraiser later pegged it at $2,000, state records showed.
Don Bailey described how Sen. Bailey may have been somewhat torn over the balance between his family’s desires and his political life.
