FILE - In this Oct. 3, 2016 file photo, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs speaks at a new conference in Chicago. Frerichs issued Gov. Bruce Rauner an unsolicited to-do list for staving off fiscal failure Monday, July 10, 2017 in Chicago, directing the Republican to get behind the state's first budget in two years, minted last week, and "dial down the rhetoric." Frerichs said that Rauner must go to New York to persuade credit-rating agencies that he's committed to a $36 billion spending plan and to hold off on knocking Illinois' creditworthiness to "junk" status.
