(Springfield, IL) — Governor Bruce Rauner is ready to pay off some of the state’s old bills. The governor yesterday announced a plan to borrow six-billion dollars to pay down some of Illinois’ 15-billion-dollar backlog. Republicans say the state can actually save money by borrowing, and Illinois would pay a much lower interest rate. The governor says he hopes to find the money to pay for the borrowing by cutting the state’s budget.
