Historic attacks on funding public sector services for Illinois communities are now ravaging the state. In Evanston, Illinois, a city council budget hearing brought out an overflow crowd of citizens and city employees affected by these cuts. In the crosshairs were the fire department, public library, family and senior services, and others. This show questions the business model used in running our communities, and points to the fact that new revenues are needed to restructure a progressive taxation, in a state now near the bottom nationally for taxation rates. Interviews include: Florence Estes, Staff Rep. AFSCME Council 31; Larry Spivak, Regional Director, AFSCME Council 31; Kevin Johnson, Pres., AFSCME Local 1891; Brian Scott, Pres., Fire Fighters Assoc. Local 742. Also testimonies from Evanston residents and workers. 18 minutes. Produced by Labor Beat. Labor Beat is a CAN TV Community Partner.
