IL Relative wrote a respectful letter to Rauner explaining that there are 600 people in a Chicago resident facility that would be affected by cuts proposed by the Governor. Relative said that IL owes the facility 15 million $, which would rise to 21 Million $ if the cuts occur.

Received back a generic-type letter expressing that he is determined to fix the budget and that all cost are being looked at closely.
