State Sen. Dan Duffy says he won't complain if he is booted from his Barrington office because the state government hasn't been paying the rent on time.
$3.3 billion backlog in bills and $2.5 billion in loan payments due starting next month, there is a long line of creditors seeking money from the state comptroller's office. [Building owner] GNP is due about $8,000 for Duffy's office, a new tab that has grown since the company received $10,000 in tardy rent payments in October. The company covers utilities and other contract services from the monthly rent it charges.
Boller Construction Co. managed to receive payment after waiting more than six months on a $1 million-plus fee for work as general contractor at College of Lake County. Boller led projects at CLC's Grayslake and Waukegan campuses last summer.
President Lyle Ehlers said the state's tardiness forced Waukegan-based Boller to take "extraordinary measures" to secure financing while it waited for its money. Unlike Boller, some companies quit the CLC projects over the late payments.
