Did Boone County also get the money? Is Boone County also suing?
UPDATE: As noted in the United Counties Counsels of Illinois memo shown below, Boone County and the other counties will also be seeing the payment soon. It appears that the suit by Winnebago may have freed all the money.

ROCKFORD (WREX) -
Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen says the county has received $152,000 in back payments from the state of Illinois.
The county filed a civil lawsuit against the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue and the Illinois Comptroller for salary reimbursements.
The county sought to recover statutorily required payments from the State towards reimbursements of the salaries of the County Supervisor, Public Defender, and State's Attorney.
Winnebago County will seek to have the lawsuit dismissed without prejudice with leave to refile if that State falls behind on payment obligations in the future.
