Thank you.

Thank you to those of you who have worked to keep our state running while the legislature twiddles its thumbs waiting for election season.

Thank you to school administrators, like Guy Cahill, who did his very best to ensure that Galesburg could keep as many faculty and staff as possible.

Thank you to the little guys who have been stomped on, like many of the non-profits still waiting on funds, but are still kicking. I am reminded of Covenant Enabling Residences—a residential care facility for adults with developmental disabilities, which depends entirely on state funding for its programs.
