FILE - In this March 20, 2017 file photo, Illinois State Comptroller Susana Mendoza speaks to the City Club of Chicago in Chicago. A judge has ruled that Mendoza must pay lawmakers even though the state doesn't have a budget. Cook County Circuit Judge Rodolfo Garcia ruled in favor of Illinois legislators Thursday, March 23, 2017, citing a 2014 law passed after then-Gov. Pat Quinn withheld paychecks over pension reform. Mendoza said she planned to comply with the order. (Rich Hein/Sun Times via AP File)
