Lessie Bates Neighborhood House laid off 117 people and cut services to 300 seniors in East St. Louis due to the budget impasse —> https://t.co/B2FFM0NztJ

But that didn't cause a problem?

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

We are opposed to this move, which will immediately hurt families. Everyone needs access to affordable healthcare. https://t.co/1RpOcaHsX9

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

Agreed! It was a relentless and team effort on many fronts to raise awareness of the impact of the impasse and keep the pressure on. https://t.co/goMFceg7RY

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

@ILSenDems @ilhousegop @HouseDemsIL & Sen Righter, thank you for fighting to end #ilbudget crisis & helping state pay its bills! #twill https://t.co/v8BMd5xCIS

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

Human service providers are doing their job, you should too @GovRauner-->https://t.co/KPY405skgj #ILBudgetNow #twill

"..social services agencies & nonprofits were working w teens & young adults 2 give them an alternative 2 gangs & guns" Crain's gets it.

At the heart of all we do is 2 help people stay safe & healthy, so they can achieve their potential & give back. We are employers, not props https://t.co/cvaRLbQlO4

How Rauner has failed Illinois' human service providers — and its citizens https://t.co/r6mpcJaOVj

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

@ICOYouth tells the truth. This budget impasse is balanced on the shoulders of providers who r mission-driven & dedicated 2 their clients. https://t.co/h23fDUc9Sv

Judge to @LisaMadigan ASA re damage suffered: what abt plaintiffs' employees? Aren't they suffering? Currently & 900 jobs lost. #twill

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

To say that court of claims is adequate legal remedy to address irreparable harm years later when/if #ILbudget enacted, is fallacy. #twill

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

IL in unprecedented situation. State is asking @PayNowIllinois to float gov't to plaintiffs own detriment & damage to safety net. #twill

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

@SMoralesDoyle draws on irony that @GovRauner argues in court to pay state employees while arguing to oppose paying @PayNowIllinois #twill

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

Expressly Court of Claims has no power or available remedy to address constitutional violations. @PayNowIllinois needs venue for relief.

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

It's not plaintiffs' subjective belief that we can withdraw from contracts. Reality is real harm suffered by those served, immoral. #twill

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

@SMoralesDoyle @DSGChicago to court: my clients are providing services 2most vulnerable of our state. #ILGA has tried to pay for contracts.

[Pay Now Illinois @PayNowIllinois]

Brazenly, @LisaMadigan A-SA just asserted there will be harm to people of IL if @PayNowIllinois is paid. Ignores harmed occuring now! #twill
