SPRINGFIELD, Ill.--With Illinois' backlog of unpaid bills reaching $8.5 billion, the state's fiscal officer announced Tuesday her office will give precedence to paying providers of services for the developmentally disabled.
The order from Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka came a day after
group homes and other agencies for the developmentally disabled were
notified by the state Department of Human Services that there wasn't
enough money in the current budget to pay them for their services this
year.
