Recently the Illinois Policy Institute launch a Take Action page on their site. Which presents effectively the status of key bills and how your opinion can be expressed to your representatives.
Here are some ways that legislators and the public are informed and influenced:
- Facebook Ad Campaigns
- Google Search ads with lawmaker contact information based on location.
- Newspaper Ads in local papers
- Direct postcards
- Online Petition
- Comments on the lawmakers Facebook pages.
The Illinois General Assembly adjourned their meeting this week without calling for a vote the proposed constitutional amendment that would allow a progressive tax. It was the last day possible to pass the constitutional amendment.
The next bill that is in the works that will impact Illinois’ march forward is the AFSCME arbitration bill.
