In the midst of one of the most severe economic downturns in decades, the Illinois General Assembly concluded its spring session on the constitutional budget deadline of May 31 by failing to pass a modest, temporary tax increase and preserved services for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Illinoisans, including people living with and at risk of HIV. Instead, legislators enacted a bare-bones, half-year budget that gives state agencies just 50 percent of the previous year’s spending amounts – to last the entire year.

Will this ludicrous scenario stand, or will the General Assembly step up to the task and make the right decision? What can the HIV/AIDS community do to fight for funding, and what is the likely outcome of this mess?

Please join the AIDS Foundation of Chicago for the State Budget 411 Phone-In conference call on June 11 at 4:30 p.m. to hear the latest scoop out of Springfield.
