Coffee brewing, a buffet of fresh fruit, danish, bagels, juice, political buzz filling the room…this describes the atmosphere at the first RANWC Legislative Breakfast.
I am pleased to report that our first Legislative Breakfast was well attended and our members left with full stomachs and a better knowledge of the current issues in Springfield.
State Senator Matt Murphy was the guest speaker at the breakfast. Murphy, a Freshman Senator was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune, Daily Herald, and Governor Jim Edgar just to name a few. The Senator reported on legislation such the Gross Receipts Tax, Predatory Lending Bill, Transfer Tax, and Tax on LLCs..
RANWC members had the opportunity to direct questions to the Senator, pose for pictures and of course partake in the catered breakfast. All free of charge.
The General Assembly is now in overtime session in Springfield. I am working with the staffs of several Senators and Representatives on potential dates for our next Legislative Breakfast. As soon as we have the date and time in place I will notify you all directly via email. I hope that you are able be part of our next Legislative Breakfast.

Nice Job!
Thank you Jeff and RANWC for this extremely informative session. It gave me an insight into the actual workings of our state government. It also made me aware that even a single voice can be heard regarding the approval or disapproval of a particular issue. Thanks again and I look forward to upcoming sessions!
Dana, I am happy that you enjoyed the breakfast. I look forward to seeing you at the next session.
