BEN SZALINSKI The State Journal-Register Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza announced this week the state has paid down its bill backlog to a manageable level. This is a remarkable day that I have been working toward since I took office in December 2016 amid the budget impasse when the previous administration was paying nursing homes and hospice centers up to a year late and they let the backlog climb to $16.7 billion, Mendoza said Wednesday. Illinois went without a budget for over two years between July 2015 and August 2017 as legislators and former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner waged a heated battle over the state s financial problems. During that time, the state s bills continued to add up. While no funds were appropriated, the comptroller was still required by law to pay local governments, pensions and debts. ....
This is the perfect opportunity for a GOP administration to rack up billions of dollars in unpaid bills because they’re complete failures at governing and are more interested in being the reason why we can’t have nice things than addressing that their party is morally and intellectually bankrupt. What GOP administration? Where? The GOP in Illinois is inept, but they have very little impact on the budget or finances. As Rich Miller pointed out in an excellent article the other day, Illinois really has to focus on controlling spending, as the bill backlog could really escalate by 2024. And there is the huge pension debt as well. Numbers do not discriminate. ....
By Benjamin Cox on April 28, 2021 at 1:50pm The State’s backlog of unpaid bills has fallen into a 30-day payment cycle. Comptroller Susana Mendoza’s Office reports today that the state’s balance has fallen to $3.5 billion after being at a high of $16.7 billion in January 2017. Mendoza says that the oldest commercial vouchers owed to most vendors and providers of goods and services in her office right now are dated from Monday. She says it’s the first time in several years that the state has final caught up to a manageable cycle of bill payment. The Debt Transparency Act, resulting in monthly Debt Transparency Reports from state agencies, was an initiative that Mendoza pushed in 2017 after assuming office. Mendoza says it has eliminated costly surprises and has allowed for more effective management of the state’s checkbook. ....
Victor Hilitski/For the Sun-Time Illinois’ backlog of unpaid bills is down to about $3.5 billion a fraction of the nearly $17 billion the state was behind in paying four years ago. State Comptroller Susana Mendoza characterized that as a “remarkable” achievement. The drop in the backlog which, at its highest point, stood at $16.7 billion in 2017 means Illinois can pay its bills as they come in and moves closer to paying off its debts within a normal 30-day cycle. Currently, the oldest bills the comptroller’s office has are from Monday. The rest of the backlog is comprised of “interfund transfers owed to other branches of government, group health insurance bills with limited appropriation authority, and invoices at state agencies that have not yet been forwarded to the Office of Comptroller for payment,” according to a statement from the office. ....
