(Springfield, IL) — Illinois is getting a new person to pay the state’s bills today. Former state lawmaker Susana Mendoza will take the oath of office in a few hours. Mendoza beat Republican Leslie Munger in a special election last month. Mendoza, who is a Democrat, is walking into an office trying to deal with Illinois‘ ten-billion-dollar backlog of unpaid bills.
