SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Julie Morrison (D – Deerfield) released the following statement after hearing Governor Rauner’s State of the State address:

“As recent news events have alluded, the continuation of our budget impasse is having a devastating impact on our non-profit entities, affecting community services for adults with disabilities and home care for seniors. It is also making our business climate that much worse. I agree with the governor that some common sense reforms are needed in Illinois. However, solving this budget crisis once and for all must be our top priority.”
