Hi all:

If you are inclined to do so, contact your State Senators via phone

or email this evening or tomorrow...

The following is from IARF (Illinois Association of Rehab

Facilities)...

We learned in a conversation with Mark and Rob Uhe this

afternoon that things are on track for a budget " deal " to be

completed by tomorrow. This would allow the votes to be completed for

adjournment on Saturday, May 31st which appears to be the goal of

both the Senate and the House. We know that the Senate will use the

House's request for human service increases as a point of

negotiation – in other words to get something they want since the

House " growth " budget is higher than their version for community

services. So – there are some KEY contacts that must be made in the

Senate and several are in your service area. The message is:

community DD, mental health and substance abuse services need

increased funding. Don't approve a budget without it. You can then be

specific about the impact of a flat budget if you choose.

Contacts in your service area:

Senator Bond

Senator Don Harmon

Senator Garrett

Senator Dan Kotowski

Senator Jeff Schoenberg

As I mentioned, the " deal " will likely be done by tomorrow afternoon

so making these calls immediately would be best. Please keep us in

the loop in terms of what you hear back from them. Thanks for your

effort here; it's time to start biting our fingernails about the

outcome.

Janet S. Stover

Executive Director
