Illinois Disability Programs At Risk
The Illinois state budget is due in less than three weeks. As it is written right now, community programs which assist the disabled stand to lose almost 2.5 billion dollars. Stateline legislators got an earful this morning from surrogates for the disabled. 23 News reporter Adam Behrman shows us why they are deeply concerned about the future of disability programs in Illinois.

I am ashamed to be from Illinois-what a backward backwater of a state. Of course the teachers unions, cops, and firemen will never lose their funding, their over the top benefit plans, their ridiculous pensions. The businesses in Illinois will never lose their tax breaks. Need to save money? Take it out on the disabled, the ones who have no voice and cannot advocate on their own behalf. God is watching.

Roxanne Lewis was incredible. She was very eloquent with her words and her passion really touched me. What a great spokeswoman she is for the ones who need our help the most. Thank you Roxanne Lewis, you are truly wonderful.
