  • The State of Illinois has unfunded pension liabilities totaling $75 billion.
  • $114 billion in unfunded liabilities which amount to more than three times  that of Wisconsin or Michigan and more than twice that of Missouri, Indiana or Iowa.
  • Illinois owes $31 billion to its creditors.
  • Illinois also has $8.3 billion in unpaid bills.

Michael’s campaign platform is to bring Illinois to a higher level of fiscal accountability and responsibility through transparency by offering:  Town Hall Meetings, Public Hearings for the Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan and a 78th District Council made up of constituents from the district.

Join us for a discussion on how we can work together to improve the financial condition of Illinois with new representation in Springfield.
