Illinois' Fiscal Crisis: Climbing Out of Debt

An event co-sponsored by the LWV Lake Forest/Lake Bluff, LWV Deerfield and LWV Highland Park/Highwood

How will we cover the $4 billion deficit when the temporary income tax rate falls in 2015? Our legislators will discuss solutions at a forum on Wednesday Feb. 11 at 7 PM at the First Presbyterian Church, 700 Sheridan Road. Education, pensions, infrastructure all need more funding. What expenses could be cut? Should revenue be increased from the sales or income tax? Bring your suggestions to State Sen. Julie Morrison and State Rep. Scott Drury. Co-sponsored by the LWV Lake Forest/Lake Bluff, LWV Deerfield and LWV Highland Park/Highwood.
