Call the Governor Today!
On September 24, 2008, the Illinois Senate bowed to enormous public pressure and voted unanimously to restore funding for human service programs that was cut by Governor Blagojevich in July. Senate Bill (SB) 1103 restored about $220 million, including $55 million in addiction prevention and treatment programs that will also draw down an additional $55 million from the federal government.
