Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce
Illinois is nearly bankrupt. For years, the state has spent beyond its means and ignored its unpaid bills and obligations. For FY2011, Illinois faces a projected budget deficit of $14-15 Billion and total debt of around $160 Billion. Most of that debt - $130 Billion – is related to public sector retirement programs.

After what seemed like a week of rain, more rain and still more rain, we couldn’t have asked for better weather for a golf outing in late June. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for the golf outing and for all our major events, as well as everyone who attended.
