Retired state Rep. Terry Morrow can give his home county cash to defray the cost of the special election to replace him, the state's campaign finance agency decided.
The agency decided giving money to the county was a permissible use of his left over campaign cash.

Last year, after he was re-elected, Morrow announced he would resign from the Legislature to take a job helping to draft uniform legislation in Chicago.
