NOTE: In a highly contentious political year, the upcoming Illinois Forum banquet is a "can't miss" event. I find the fact Scott Lee Cohen will address the group to be highly interesting, to say the least.
"We sent invitations to all the major candidates seeking office in the upcoming midterm election," said Bob Redfern, Chairman, Illinois Forum. "One of the Illinois Forum's reasons for existence is to inform Illinois voters about issues, candidates and the respective positions they hold."
Cohen, who was defeated in the Democratic gubernatorial primary by incumbent Governor Pat Quinn, will speak. And, though I may not agree with his political agenda, he certainly was a major player in the Democratic primary and I'd like to hear what the man has to say. We will have other guest speakers representing the entire political spectrum.
There are some tickets available. We are expecting a big crowd and if you're worried about not being able to get in, don't fret...we'll make room. -- Dan Zanoza, Illinois Forum, Board of Governors
