GRAYSLAKE, Ill. – State Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, is once again supporting a critical funding measure that protects middle-class families, the elderly and some of Illinois’ most helpless residents.

“Decades of financial mismanagement and partisan politics have put our state into a fiscal mess,” Yingling said. “I have worked cooperatively with our governor and not along party lines, but we cannot allow our citizens to continue to be held hostage and suffer as a result of having no budget or money set aside for critical programs that protect our weakest citizens.”

Yingling supported a critical services funding measure which provided money for some of Illinois’ most important state services while legislators and the governor work to craft a long-term state budget. The measure, Senate Bill 2046, passed in the House on Tuesday, and protects critical funding for elderly residents and veterans. It also provides financial aid to the state’s colleges, sexual assault survivor centers and services that help the developmentally disabled.

Yingling represents the 62nd District, which contains portions of Gages Lake, Grayslake, Gurnee, Hainesville, the Round Lake communities, Wauconda and Wildwood.
