Deputy Governor Leslie Munger is once again in state government and crunching the numbers for a potential budget as Governor Rauner prepares to deliver his budget address. Munger says Illinois state government finances are a tangled mess.

Munger says the state's debt is the '800 pound gorilla in the room".
 

Munger, who lost to Susana Mendoza in last year's race for Comptroller, was named Deputy Governor by Governor Rauner last week.
