Illinois lawmakers to take furlough days in next year
Illinois legislators face 12 unpaid furlough days reducing base pay from 67 836 to save about 560 000 for taxpayers. The plan, sent to Gov. Pat Quinn, marks a third consecutive year of self imposed pay cuts though several senators oppose the move. Officials in the governor and other statewide offices discuss voluntary participation and staff implications.
