Marc D. Smith, acting director of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Service at the DCFS headquarters in Springfield on July 2, 2019.“We are running and working at the highest level I believe that this agency has ever worked at,” he said during the town hall. “Do not let anybody take that away from you because I’m sure as hell not letting them take it away from me.
