(KGTV) - Did the Illinois election board really rule a mayoral candidate was ok to give cash to potential voters?

Yes.

Willie Wilson handed out nearly $200,000 last weekend in church to help people pay their bills.

But the board ruled he didn't break the law because the money came from his non-profit foundation.
