Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Just look at the fraud level surrounding the PPP program initiated during COVID and you’ll get an idea of how these Guaranteed Income Programs will end. The great benefit of DOGE is its display of the monumental corruption of government largesse.
Don’t get comfortable with that cash people . Once the illegals get to vote , it will be going to them. It’s the Illinoos way
