NWSOFA, an Indivisible Chapter, is having our June Fiscal and Economic Issues group meeting on Monday, June 17th at 7 PM in the Adult Classroom at the Schaumburg Township Library.
We had a good meeting in May with former State Senator Daniel Biss speaking about the need for the Fair Tax amendment to be placed on the ballot. Thanks to all of your efforts (calls, witness slips, personal contacts) this measure passed in the legislature and will be on the ballot in November 2020. Good job!!!
This month our special guest speaker is Illinois State Representative Michelle Mussman, who will also discuss state issues, including the recently passed state budget, the Fair Tax amendment, the Reproductive Health Act, marijuana legalization, and other issues still being worked on this weekend. Representative Mussman previously spoke at our meetings in June 2017 and July 2018. We welcome her back.
Following Representative Mussman, co-leads David Doney and Karl Faulstich will give an update on the Illinois and US economies (job growth, GDP growth, trade deficit, budget deficit, etc.) and answer questions from attendees. Expected topics include:
- Real GDP growth – Thursday’s 2nd estimate of first quarter growth dropped it slightly from 3.2% to 3.1%
- We will be discussing May employment data, which will be released Friday, June 7th
- Other fiscal and economic releases
Doors open at 6:45 p.m. All are welcome. We hope to see you there.
