One state lawmaker made a request for federal money to directly help shore up Illinois financial situation. But the ask, including $10 billion for state pensions is getting criticized by Congressional Republicans.

Congressman Rodney Davis says the $41 billion that Illinois Senate President Don Harmon wants ignores the fact that Illinois’ troubles have been years in the making.

Governor JB Pritzker said Harmon’s ask from federal officials differs in what he would like to see for support of states.
