Illinois lawmakers are already waiting months for their paychecks. They’d have to wait longer under a new plan from Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger. She’s pushing an idea she calls “No budget, no pay.” Munger’s plan would stop paychecks for Illinois’ statewide officials and all 177 lawmakers until there’s a balanced state budget. Illinois went a full year last year without a budget and only has a six-month spending agreement this year.
