East St. Louis parks littered with garbage, swimming pools without water, critical programs such as Meals on Wheels cut for seniors and summer camp programs no longer available for children are among the many tragic consequences of years of fiscal mismanagement by the state.

2019 is turning out to be a year of two 50th anniversaries…the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots…and the 50th Anniversary of the Chicago Pride Parade! AARP Chicago is extremely excited to be celebrating these milestones all throughout the month of June…and the rest of 2019!

IL is broken. The fiscal crisis forces people all across this state, like the ones shown in these videos, to endure heartbreaking struggles and choices. Enough is Enough! Tell your legislators to put people over politics by passing the long-term fiscal plan and Fair Tax now.
