Comptroller: Stop-gap funds push Illinois backlog to 10 billion
Chicago AP Comptroller Leslie Munger says unpaid bills will total about 10 billion by year end after the temporary budget. The current backlog stands at 7.8 billion as lawmakers approved a stop-gap plan ending the yearlong impasse. Munger says payments will prioritize social service nonprofits, vendors who supplied state goods, and education institutions facing cuts. Nearly 100 social service providers have sued Illinois over nonpayment.
