Commentary: Illinois must provide more funding for people with disabilities – Chicago Sun-Times

State Rep. Lindsey LaPointe, State Rep. Lakesia Collins, State Rep. Nabeela Syed and State Sen. Celina Villanueva: "Our state ranks 49th in the country for funding and support of the estimated 300,000 Illinoisans with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, who deserve an opportunity to live safe, full and meaningful lives. Forty-ninth out of 50 states — that is unconscionable."

What is truly unconscionable is that Illinois has one of the highest total tax burdens in the country and treats the most vulnerable residents of the state so poorly. Political corruption plain and simple. May they all rot in hell.
