(OPEN):
AS THE PRIMARY NEARS, A-A-R-P ILLINOIS' STATE-PRESIDENT,
ROSANNA MÁRQUEZ, WANTS VOTERS TO KNOW JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR ELECTED-OFFICIALS TO DEAL WITH THE
STATE'S ONGOING FISCAL-ISSUES...
(MÁRQUEZ):
"FOR OVER TWO YEARS, ILLINOIS WAS WITHOUT A
BUDGET--WHICH CAUSED MILLIONS OF RESIDENTS TO SUFFER THROUGH THE LACK OF DEPLETED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
AND, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL-YEAR, THE STATE STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO.
THAT'S WHY ELECTED-OFFICIALS NEED TO FIX THESE ISSUES--AND TO NOT LET ILLINOIS REMAIN IN DISARRAY:
GOVERNOR RAUNER, LEGISLATIVE LEADERS, AND THE ENTIRE 'GENERAL ASSEMBLY' ALL NEED TO IMPLEMENT PERMANENT SOLUTIONS THAT RESTORE THE
STATE'S FISCAL-HEALTH; PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT VULNERABLE CITIZENS NEED; AND ENSURE A BRIGHT FUTURE, FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
WITH THE 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'-CAMPAIGN, OUR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS WILL ENCOURAGE
CITIZENS--ACROSS ILLINOIS--TO HOLD ALL ELECTED-OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE, FOR RESULTS THAT BRING THE STATE BACK TO FULL FISCAL-SOLVENCY."
