ALTON - For too long the state of Illinois has suffered through a fiscal crisis that continues to affect all its citizens now and for the foreseeable future. When will our state’s finances be restored, municipalities supported, infrastructure improved, service providers paid, families get the help they need to care for vulnerable loved ones, and the state’s debt burden be resolved?
We must continue to pressure our elected officials to work together and find solutions to answer these questions that have the state of Illinois in such distress. We must expect candidates for Illinois elected office to make fixing Illinois’ fiscal crisis with a developed plan to do so their top priority.
