Illinois lawmakers have a little change in their pockets again today after being issued paychecks.  In July, Governor Quinn suspended legislators' pay when they were unable to come up with a solution to the state's 100-billion dollar pension problem.  Last week, Illinois' comptroller was ordered to begin issuing paychecks with interest to lawmakers immediately.  The order came after a Cook County judge ruled that Quinn's decision was unconstitutional.
