Illinois credit unions are about to receive a $6.2 million windfall following resolution of a protracted lawsuit by the Illinois Credit Union League against the administration of former governor Rod Blagojevich.

Patrick Quinn, which clears final roadblocks on the so-called "fee raid" or sweeps on CU and bank examiner fees seized by the Blagojevich administration in 2004 and challenged by financial trade groups in lawsuits.
