Last year in June Illinois State Representative Michelle Mussman talked about ongoing budget negotiations after we missed the May 31st deadline for passing the budget.  This month at 7 p.m. on July 9th we are bringing back Representative Mussman to again brief us on State budget issues. But this year she gets to talk about the successful passage of the fiscal year 2019 (July 2018-June 2019) budget by May 31st.

Expected topics of discussion include:

1. What got included in this year's state budget and what, if anything, got left out or cut.

2. What are the ongoing budget challenges in future years and how might these challenges be solved.

In addition, David Doney and Karl Faulstich will present a brief update on the U.S. economic and fiscal situation.

We look forward to a good discussion at the library this month.  

After the meeting, many in the group will head over to Lou Malnati's to continue our discussions. Feel free to join us at Lou's.
