For the first time ever, Gov. Pat Quinn has posted the state’s budget online and is looking for public comment.
It is imperative that IEA members let the Governor and state legislators know how the state’s budget crisis is impacting their local districts.
Share your personal stories: Ways the budget crunch is affecting your district, the students in it, you and your family.
Please join Jim Reed as he walks you through the process of filing comments on the Governor’s site.
After watching the video, go to the governor’s Website and tell him what the children of Illinois and the whole state will lose if we fail to invest in education and fail to support the agencies that help Illinois’ children, our sick and our elderly.
It’s very important that your voice be heard. And, if you want it to be heard even louder, join thousands of your fellow IEA members at Lobby Day on April 21.
