I just read that the state treasurer is investing $1 Billion into Illinois banks. From an AP story in Crain's:
"(AP) — Illinois state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias plans to make a $1 billion deposit in the state's banks, giving them needed cash for borrowers in a bid to dismantle a credit jam and brace the state during the financial crisis.
Giannoulias told The Associated Press he will make the money available to interest-bearing bank accounts by shifting it from lower-yielding investments in one of the first sweeping moves by a state government to face down a menacingly volatile economy.
The first-term Democrat planned to announce the cash infusion later Thursday."
