The economic slowdown of the last year has exposed a problem, but it isn’t new. Too many families, families with one or even both parents working, simply can’t afford their rents or mortgage and living expenses.

 

As a member of the Rock Island County Board, I have taken steps to ensure those working families have access to affordable homes. As State Representative, I will continue to work with our local officials as well as those at the state level to ensure our working people, whether in the middle of the city or out in our rural communities, can find good places to live that they can afford.
