Do you think they’ll get the money?

It looks like Gov. Rod Blagojevich has decided to release money that was promised to Illinois’ soil and water conservation districts, the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service offices and other ag-related groups.
Folks in the comptroller’s office said they’d write the checks as soon as they had authorization. As of late Wednesday, they were still waiting.
The gov got a lot of flack for holding back the money. As unpopular as he is right now, he had to do something to deflect criticism.
But if I were involved with one of the agencies that’s waiting for money, I wouldn’t celebrate until I got the check or maybe not until the check cleared.

As I say to any group expecting money from Blago’s Illinois: Wwait until you get the check, sign the check, take the check to the bank, and ask them to see if there are funds to back the check up. Then, cash the check and wait until it clears.
THEN you know you have the money.
