A group of six legislators is suing Comptroller Leslie Munger to get their paychecks on time. The suit says Comptroller Munger stopped timely payment of their paychecks to apply political pressure on lawmakers. She says she’s disgusted by the lawsuit and Governor Bruce Rauner seems to agree.
Back in April, Munger added legislator paychecks to the huge pile of bills waiting to be paid to state vendors until their reached a budget deal with the Governor.
