Lawmakers, and our Governor, have a choice. Instead of balancing the budget on the backs of the state’s most vulnerable workers and families, elected officials can choose to raise new revenue to address the deficit. Just last week, the Fiscal Policy Center at Voices for Illinois Children released a detailed report outlining a variety of revenue options. Their one page fact sheet provides a quick summary.
Call or email your legislator today to tell them to choose revenue as opposed to devastating and unnecessary cuts.
