"Illinois’ Unpaid Bill Crisis Just Keeps Getting Worse"
Illinois is in financial trouble...
CBS Chicago reports this:
"But Illinois State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says when one factors in other bills, the figure is closer to around $8.5 billion.
Those other outstanding bills include tax refunds, employee health insurance, and bills that have not yet reached her desk.
Topinka says this is extremely disappointing, since a year ago, the state sharply increased income taxes (by 67 percent) and corporate taxes."
