Yesterday, PBS' Newshour with Jim Lehrer featured a report from WTTW's Elizabeth Bracket on how the "ripple effect" of the current economic crisis is affecting Illinois.
In the piece, Bracket talks to the owner of Neptune Construction who had to close his business in South Elgin because his cash flow was hampered by delayed state payments and he lacked access to short-term credit.

State Comptroller Dan Hynes and Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias appear as well. Watch it:
