(Springfield, IL) — One of western Illinois’ state reps wants to make sure the region’s prison gets its bills paid as soon as possible. Republican Norine Hammond sent a note on Tuesday to Illinois’ new comptroller, asking she pay the past-due bills for the Western Illinois Correctional Center. Hammond says the state’s temporary budget will expire next week. She fears the prison will close when the state runs out of money to spend early in 2017.
