Several Illinois government agencies that provided important information include the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability and the Legislative Research Unit, both of the Illinois General Assembly; the Office of the Comptroller, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and the Auditor General of Illinois. University-based research and public service units include the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois (especially for their annual Illinois Report), the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University, and the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University.
