I am needing the public to understand that a lot of programs that might have helped their families in the past, helping now or in the future- are at risk.  This list includes: 

  1. Healthcare 
  2. Fire Departments
  3. Senior Programs 
  4. Educations
  5. Childrens reduced and free lunch programs
  6. Housing 
  7. LIHEAP / HeadStart Program and others offered at BCMW
  8. Road improvements
  9. Infrastructures
  10. Food Pantries

and of course we risk losing two seats in the House of Representatives for Illinois.
