What is the Fox Valley Area Action council?
We are a group of active small business owners and NFIB members which meet four times a year to hear from lawmakers, politicians, and each other regarding statewide and national issues facing small businesses in the Fox Valley area. In addition, we receive timely updates from Springfield and Washington to give us the opportunity to have our voices heard on behalf of small business.

State Senator Chris Lauzen Meets with Fox Valley Area Action Council
Presents the accurate "State of the State"

5/23/2006


Chris Lauzen, State Senator for Illinois' 25th district presented the actual "State of the State" to Fox Valley small business owners in Aurora. Chris gave actual facts and figures that paint a much different picture than the one the current administration in Springfield has been painting.
 
Senator Lauzen made a clear point for members of the Fox Valley Area Action Council: 15-20 phone calls to a state legislator's office can make a lawmaker pay a lot more attention to an issue. For some issues, that number can go as low as ten. That means that our group of over forty local small business owners can make an impact on potential legislation in Springfield.
 
Thanks go to Bob Bonifas and Alarm Detection Systems in Aurora for allowing our group to host in their facilities as well as for their hospitality.
