RBC State Budget Day of Action: Choose Revenue. Avoid Cuts.

Governor Rauner’s proposed budget would devastate our families and communities.
But lawmakers and the governor don’t have to make those cuts—they have a choice.

Instead of painful cuts to vital programs for our children, families and communities,
lawmakers and the Governor must choose revenue.

On May 13, 2015 we encourage both organizations and individuals to join in the
Responsible Budget Coalition #ChooseRevenue Day of Action by using Facebook, Twitter,
email and toll free number (1-844-311-CUTS) to contact Illinois state legislators and be
heard!
