In a state with $8 billion in unpaid bills trending to $10 billion in unpaid bills, the Comptroller turns out to have a critically important (and exceedingly difficult) job. The woman with that job, Leslie Munger, sits down with Dan Proft on this edition of Against The Current.

Munger translates the state's finances to your household so Illinois families and state vendors alike understand what she's up against in trying to navigate the impossible: the creative math of Illinois' Ruling Class politicians.

Munger also discusses a number of her reform proposals including a soon-to-launch transparency play that connects state contracts with campaign donations.
