Wells Fargo, College Savings, And Treasurer Mike Frerichs

It’s been a busy 2016 for Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs. As the state officer responsible for collecting revenues for the state of Illinois, the Democrat originally from the Champaign County village of Gifford has had a front row seat to the 18-month long budget impasse. But the first-term treasurer can also look back on some accomplishments in his second year on the job.  Frerichs discussed some of them with Illinois Public Radio’s Brian Moline.
