Illinois Senator Sam McCann Introduces Legislation Addressing Back-Pay and Old Bills

 
 Volume/Number:  2014 May 7 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Illinois State Senator Sam McCann (R-Carlinville) filed new legislation Wednesday which would allow the comptroller to use unexpected revenue to finally pay $112 million in back wages for state workers and pay down the backlog of old bills. Multiple judges and arbitrators have ruled that the state owes approximately $112 million to employees. The Department of Corrections staff alone represent more than $82 million of the back-pay. Nearly $7.4 million is owed to employees in the 50th Senate District represented by McCann. McCann is sponsor of a bill that was filed in 2013 to pay the wages. That legislation was bottled up by Democrat leaders in the Senate and has not been called for a vote. Also addressing the press were Senators Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville) and Sue Rezin (R-Morris).
