Illinois government trivia?


Did you know this stuff? These are just some of the things the Illinois Department of Public Health compiles. This is for 1993; you can find lists like this for 1993-2006 (sadly a defunct service, compiling these) at http://www.idph.state.il.us/health/statshome.htm

So who's printing these out and compiling them into a booklet?
