Kodatt Declines Month’s Pay

Former state Rep. Edward Kodatt has declined a check for the entire month of February despite being eligible for the $5,700 payout for only three days of work. Comptroller Susana Mendoza publicly requested Kodatt decline the money. He did Friday after resigning from the seat Wednesday. He was appointed last week. Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he supports Mendoza’s push to change state law so a legislator doesn’t get paid a whole month for as little as one day’s work.
