S&P lowers Illinois credit rating over pensions - chicagotribune.com
Standard & Poor's downgraded the credit of the state of Illinois on Wednesday because of its weak funding levels for pensions, a move that could make it more expensive for the state to borrow money.

S&P lowered its rating on Illinois to A from A-plus and said its outlook is "negative."
