Steve Rauschenberger*, former GOP State Senator from the Elgin area and current leader of the United Republican Fund, has announced that he’ll be hosting two town hall styled meetings on the predicament in which Illinois finds itself.
Information can be found at steverauschenberger.com/, but ther you’ll find Mr. Rauschenberger’s address on the subject:
Illinois is heading down a bad road. Despite record-breaking budget deficits and political sleaze that has resulted in two arrested Governors, the politicians in Springfield seem set on maintaining business as usual.
It’s time for ordinary people to stand up. It’s time for us to say enough is enough. Before politicians in Springfield even think about raising taxes, they must pass thorough and meaningful spending and ethics reforms.
Join Steve Rauschenberger, former State Senator and past president of the National Conference of State Legislatures, for a Townhall meeting about the challenges facing Illinois and what ordinary people can do to make state government work for them again.
There are two town halls planned.
Meeting Number One: Tuesday, September 29, 2009
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Hoosier Barn
700 W. Irving Park Road
Streamwood, IL 60107
Meeting Number Two: Thursday, October 1, 2009
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Centre of Elgin
Heritage Ballroom
100 Symphony Way
Elgin, IL 60120
Refreshments will be provided at both meetings.
*Disclosure, I worked for Senator Rauschenberger when he was in the state legislature.
