Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza says the state has paid out more than a billion dollars in late fees on overdue payments in the past three years.
Governor Bruce Rauner says Mendoza is pointing her finger in the wrong direction with the political blame game.
Rauner had more colorful adjectives to put in play...
Illinois late-pay charges since mid-2015 have reached $1.14 billion. That's $100 million more than the amount for the previous 18 years.
