SPRINGFIELD – A measure that would improve Illinois’s credit passed the Senate Thursday, thanks to support from State Senator Patricia Van Pelt (D-Chicago).
The measure would direct state money to cover several outstanding debts in order to improve the Illinois’s credit.
“We can’t afford to wait to pay off our state debts,” Van Pelt said. “It is both financially responsible to pay off a significant amount upfront and morally responsible, as so many Illinoisans can benefit from the investment.”
