I crunched some percentages. These are just taken from the budget, though, and I don't know how or where the debt payments are calculated or allocated, nor do I know where the pension costs are allocated.

Approximately 30% of the Illinois budget goes to the Dep't of Health & Family Services (and 89% of that goes to Medicaid payments, per the budget docs for that department).

Approximately 28.3% of the Illinois budget goes to the State Board of Education (99% of that is used for grants to school districts, in the form of general state aid, transportation, and early childhood education, for example).

About 15.2% of the Illinois budget goes to the Dep't of Human Services (76% of that goes out in grants, while 17% goes to "personal services," which I think means employees).

About 7.7% of the Illinois budget goes to the Illinois Board of Higher Education (i.e., colleges/universities), of which "personal services", which I think means employees, makes up 65%, while grants make up 29%.

About 4.2% of the Illinois budget goes to the Department of Corrections (70% of that goes to "personal services," which, again, I think refers to paying employees).

About 3.3% of the Illinois budget goes to the Dep't of Children and Family Services. Something called "Constitutionals" take up 2% of the budget (may be pension related, I'm not sure). The Dep't of the Aging gets 2%. The State Police take up 1% of the budget. Every other department is below 1%.
