Gov. Bruce Rauner's office filed paperwork Friday to ensure a new deputy governor isn't paid from an insurance fund that is $4 billion behind on medical payments. A letter from Rauner's fiscal officer arrived at the state comptroller's office Friday morning. It requests that a portion of Leslie Munger's $138,000 salary come from a professional services fund.
