McConnaughay Focuses on Human Trafficking

From State Senator Karen McConnaughay:

I was honored last week to have the opportunity to bring together more than 20 organizations from throughout the state that work to fight human trafficking. As many as 25,000 people every year are the victims of commercial sexual exploitation in Illinois. Human trafficking exists and festers in the shadows, where it destroys innocent lives every day. Sometimes the best way to fight back is by shining a light.

Also last week, I had the pleasure of welcoming some talented young artists from my district to the Capitol! Winners of my 33rd District art contest got to come to Springfield for a day, see the art throughout the Capitol, and see their art work on display. It will be on display at the Capitol until May 6.

As May begins, and we start the final push to the scheduled May 31 adjournment there is still a great deal of work to be done at the Capitol. Your input continues to be vital to the work I do representing you in Springfield. Please contact me or my office with questions or concerns you may have, and make sure your voice is heard in Springfield! You can also visit my legislative website athttp://senatormcconnaughay.com/.

Turnaround Illinois

Before 2015, Illinois had been under one-party rule for 12 years. Over that 12 years Illinois has experienced over-spending and an ever growing state government. Cleaning up that mess isn’t going to be easy, but it’s the focus of Gov. Rauner and legislative Republicans as the spring session continues…

  1. If you ever want to know why our state is headed into the toilet, it is revealed in this type of story.

    Illinois is headed down the river.

    100,000 productive tax payers left the state in 2014 ALONE. We are deep in debt despite tax rates and tax revenue at unprecedentedly high levels.

    The taxpayers are working harder than ever paying ever higher taxes.

    Knowing full well that the legislators themselves are responsible for this fiasco, the loser politicians come up with press releases like this drivel.

    Of course she’s against “Human Trafficking”.

    Why?

    Is Ms. McConnaughy interested in the well-being of women?

    Well, yes.

    BUT…..she’s really doing this because she knows that there are NO ONE supporting the opposite view.

    This is a “safe” issue for a feckless politician.

    She knows she will gain NO POLITICAL NEGATIVES by this pronouncement AND she gets a headline.

    Makes me sick.

    Hey, Ms. McConnaughy – what will you be against next?

    Abuse of kids?

    Ruining the environment?

    Elderly abuse?

    C’mon.

    LOSER politicians who are afraid of addressing the important financial issues for the state are ignored.

    So, this is why we continue to head off the cliff.

    Anyone who was impressed by this press release of Ms. McConnaughy being “against human trafficking” is a dolt.

    Do any of the politicians get it?

    I know you’re reading this.

    YOU LEGISLATORS are the problem.

    This is an example of why you are the problem.
