Inside Springfield

Ever wonder why our Illinois State government does what it does? Here's your chance to find out.

The League of Women Voters of the Palatine Area have invited former State Representative Suzie Bassi to speak on the topic: Inside Springfield - An Insider's View of the Workings of the Illinois State Government.

The public is invited to join us in a discussion of how things do (and do not) get done in our state government, why the process is not as simple as your textbooks suggested it was, and how you can still get your voice heard.
