FILE - In this Aug. 21, 2014 file photo, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan speaks at a news conference, in Chicago. The Associated Press has found that the Illinois attorney general’s office has yet to respond to 2,800 appeals for help in Illinois public-records disputes _ with hundreds dating to 2011 and 2012. The backlog means those barred from reviewing government actions have waited years with no response. Madigan's, Chief of Staff Ann Spillane, acknowledged the backlog but defended the bureau’s work, maintaining that 85 percent of the pleas it handles have been settled, if one also counts open-meetings act queries.
