We will be listing websites that are pertinent to issues that affect our business as well as our personal lives.  The Chamber sites addresses for many of these issues.  The Ill General Assembly site allows you to view and track bills, your legislators voting record, who’s on what committees and how to contact your legislator.  The same can be done with the City of Chicago, Cook County and Congressional sites.  It is imperative that we all get involved to voice our concerns.  There are many changes being made at all levels of government such as increased taxes, increased fees, and various mandates that have a negative impact on your business.
