An Evening with Your Representatives

The public is encouraged to attend  "An Evening with Your Representatives" co-sponsored by the Wheaton League of Women Voters and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce.

We will begin the evening with a meet and greet over light refreshment (Sub sandwiches, appetizers from Wok and Fire, Cookies, and Coffee from I have a Bean),  at 6:30 PM. At 7:00, we will begin a town hall style meeting.

State legislators, including Carole Pankau, Tom Johnson and Sandy Pihos will attend. Residents from a good portion of DuPage County can look to these representatives for answers to their Springfield questions. Topics will likely include the issues facing the Illinois legislature in the upcoming veto session, such as pension reform, Quinn's budget not funding pay increases for state workers despite the contract; the regional superintendent elimination, gambling, and the smart grid.
