Illinois pay politics favors clout over fair process

An Associated Press analysis of state records shows state vendors backed by lawmakers or officials often receive expedited payments while the rules for hardship payments are inconsistently applied. Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka acknowledges the system is unfair and notes that payment decisions depend on what a legislator or agency director reports, with several cases where advocacy led to quick funding for nonprofits and small businesses.
