Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman to speak Wednesday morning at event hosted by Union League Club of Chicago and Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce
Illinois has the worst-funded pension system in the nation, the second highest unemployment rate of any state and, despite record revenues, billions of dollars in unpaid bills. How did Illinois get here?
Decades of failed public policies. High taxes. A perpetually unfriendly business climate. And a political establishment that is focused on preserving the status quo rather than enacting real reforms that empower Illinois residents while protecting the poor and disadvantaged.
Illinois needs change more than ever before. Pension reform rooted in a 401k-style plan for workers, lower state income taxes and better government transparency are just a few of the many ways to help right Illinois’ fiscal and political ship.
The media and public are invited to hear Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman speak along with Andy Shaw of the Better Government Association at an event Wednesday focused on how to get Illinois out of its fiscal abyss and back on the path to prosperity.
WHAT: State of the State: A look at Illinois’ Government and Political Future
WHERE: Union League Club of Chicago, 65 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60604
WHEN: Oct. 30, 7:30 a.m. – 9 a.m.
Event open to media. Additionally, Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman is available for interviews on these topics throughout the week.
FOR INTERVIEWS: Diana Rickert or Nathaniel Hamilton (312) 607-4977
