 State Budget |
By Aaron Chambers REGISTER STAR SPRINGFIELD BUREAU
SPRINGFIELD - The rebounding national economy meant extra cash in the coffers of nearly every state in the union.
Nearly every state, except Illinois.
Illinois was one of three states to finish the 2005 budget year with a deficit of $3 billion, to be exact in its central checking account, a Register Star analysis found. Illinois deficit was the largest in the nation. Wisconsin and North Carolina are also in the red; every other state finished with a surplus.

| reply to slashman It's funny how Blag has a zillion dollars in his campaign fund while the state budget is going down the drain. He should employ some of the fiscal expertise he used to create the campaign fund in the state gov. -- What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about? |
