SPOTLIGHT: Legislative Update

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In this episode, Spotlight brings a Legislative Update from David E. Curtin, IFI’s Lobbyist in Springfield.

We are only five weeks into the new session of the Illinois General Assembly, and already, more than 6,000 bills have been filed.

“It’s a record and they are proud of it. The super-majority is proud of it, but it is not good for the state of Illinois.”

IFA’s David E. Smith hosts this episode to highlight three very concerning bills that are pending debate at the Capitol. They begin by discussing the controversial and divisive remarks made by Governor JB Pritzker during his recent budget address. This is an important episode that you do not want to miss.
