Welcome to our inaugural Legislators’ Guide to the Issues. We have broken down the relevant and pressing issues facing Illinois today into 2-4 page summaries, detailing the problems and offering specific solutions to putting Illinois back on the right track.
Three simple stats tell the current tale: Illinois ranks third to last in economic performance; Illinois ranks 3rd highest in net out-migration; and Illinois is 48th in cumulative non-farm employment growth from 1997 till 2007.
We can do better. This guidebook provides solutions that will put our once great state on the road to recovery. We hope you will use it. We are here as a resource to expand on these ideas in any way that you may find helpful. Download the 2010 Illinois Legislators' Guide to the Issues here.
