An Important Message from Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation,
Brent E. Adams

April 23, 2012

Dear Financial and Professional Regulation Stakeholder:

As you are aware, the State of Illinois faces severe budget challenges due to decades of fiscal mismanagement.

On April 19, 2012, Governor Quinn proposed a plan to stabilize the Medicaid system.  On April 20, 2012, Governor Quinn proposed a plan to stabilize the state's pension system.  Those plans, if enacted, would be a significant step toward resolving our state's fiscal crisis and would also help stabilize the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's budget.

Please encourage your legislators to support Governor Quinn's Medicaid and Pension stabilization plans. For more information, please review the following documents and visit Save Our State!:

Thank you for your attention to these important matters.

Sincerely,

Brent E. Adams
Secretary
