Fourteen other groups received the remaining $4,000,000 allocated to
Hindu and Sikh organizations, Kosher groups, and children’s groups.
This list was approved by Judge Richard Siebel on May 19, 2003, but
was appealed separately by both vegetarians and Muslims. On March
31, 2005, the Illinois Court of Appeals upheld the settlement; no
further appeals are in process and the money is in the process of being distributed.
