Dear Jessica A. Pickens
This last session of the 98th
General Assembly is nearing its
mid-way point. Our Governor Pat
Quinn presented his budget
address for fiscal year 2015, and
the State's budget is now being
shaped. Also, critically
important policy is being moved
throughout the General
Assembly. Please know that I have and will continue to
work to bring resources to the community and support
good policy for the remainder of this 98th General
Assembly and beyond.
