The House ended a marathon spring session at almost 5 a.m. yesterday morning that included the largest budget in state history. Stayed tuned for my next newsletter as I will dive into the budget and the end of the spring session in more detail.
Below is information on several upcoming events I’m hosting that I wanted to make you aware of, particularly my next blood drive on June 3. Illinois is still facing a blood shortage, and every donation can save up to three lives, so I hope you’ll consider helping us battle the shortage by donating next week. I also have an upcoming fair for kids, a seminar on understanding property taxes and the appeal process, and a mobile DMV.
