| 3: | | Title: | | | | | 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). | | | | Date Created: | 05-07-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | 539**14 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000053255 Original UID: 174524 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
