Welcome to the State Budget Impasse Forum Bring

Welcome to the State Budget Impasse Forum Bring accountability back to our state government

The State of Illinois is moving into the THIRD YEAR without a fiscal budget

What’s at stake? • School districts may be unable to open their doors this fall • Nursing homes are fully leveraged, unable to borrow more to provide services • Social services agencies are cutting services or closing

What’s really at stake? • The education of our children • The care of the elderly and infirm • The health of those unable to secure needed medication and medical attention • The sustainability of communities

The state currently owes: --Canton Schools $1. 6 million --School districts across the state $14 billion --Fulton-Mason Crisis Service nearly $300, 000 --Over 1 year of medicaid payments to Sunset Nursing Home (Additional statistics will be shared throughout the evening)
