State Matters

There is so much happening in the state legislature, and we want to make it easier to understand.

Hey IL Informed fans! We have a task for you. @Chicago_Reader has a podcast category for their “Best of Chicago” survey. You know what to do 😉

An older article...but still so so relevant. Maybe time to turn off those push notifications? https://t.co/f9xzrmDWWJ

A bill you supported was just signed and you're so excited about it. Hold the champagne, cause it ain’t over yet. Listen to @DanielBiss and Glenance Green talk about why we all need to stay engaged beyond the bill signing ceremony. https://t.co/J7LyOYxDYQ

[State Matters @state_matters]

We've got a bonus episode of IL Informed for y'all! @DanielBiss talks with @SenatorBush and @senpetersil about the avalanche of legislation passed here in Illinois in 2019. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! https://t.co/NxtznSry06

“If I register won’t I have to do jury duty?” Came up! We flipped it & talked about how IMPORTANT having our peers serve on a jury actually is! We all agreed and are now crossing our fingers for the opportunity. (Also we are already in that system, it has nothing to do w VR.)

Our final episode of this season of IL Informed is OUT today! It’s time to talk about keeping your reps accountable.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I campaigned on a promise to put Springfield back on the side of working families, to ask people like me pay more, and to protect middle class families. And today we have reached a major milestone.

Illinois’s regular legislative session will be wrapping up real soon...give yourself a little refresher on how session works in our state! https://t.co/tIp0Cs08lR

[State Matters @state_matters]

The work doesn’t stop when a bill becomes law. Daniel and Glenance talk about implementation, enforcement, and why we all need to stay engaged beyond the bill signing ceremony. Hold the champagne, cause it ain’t over yet.https://t.co/NxtznSry06

🗣Illinois’s regular legislative session is wrapping up soon, do you know what your reps have been up to??? Some of the rockstar reps send out weekly newsletters, others will post regularly on their social media. Look em up and follow em!

It was podcast themed craft time in our office yesterday- wondering how a paper tiger is related to IL state government? Guess you’ll just have to listen to the latest episode of IL Informed to find out 😉

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

The IL Informed podcast episode on Mike Madigan is live! Come for the meteorological jokes about Pluto, stay for the extremely strange stories about things that I experienced as a State Rep in 2011. (Or maybe vice versa?) @state_matters
