Description
How will we cover Illinois' $4 billion deficit in 2015, or the $162 billion accumulated debt? Spending cuts, pension reform, extension of the sales tax, tax on retirement income, slowing the decrease in the temporary income tax all have been suggested. Higher education and infrastructure need more funding. State Sen. Julie Morrison and State Rep. Scott Drury will answer questions and discuss solutions so bring your ideas!.
