Sen. Bill Brady will co-host with Sen.
Larry Bomke, R-Springfield. The "Peace of Mind" seminar will start
at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, at The Oasis, 501 Pulaski St. in
Lincoln.
The event will provide a one-stop
setting for senior citizens and their families to find answers to
their questions about identity theft and other common scams against
senior citizens. The senators are also working with state Treasurer
Judy Baar Topinka's office to help people find unclaimed assets and
reunite military service medals with their rightful owners or their
families.
The seminar is free and open to the
public. Refreshments will be served. For more information call Sen.
Bill Brady's office at (309) 664-4440.
Fees
New, higher state-imposed fees have
been the topic of much discussion. The Illinois Leader recently
reported that over 100 city officials from 40 downstate communities
met to protest new state-assessed fees and call for higher income or
sales taxes instead. Wastewater facility fee charges and new sales
tax placed on truckers with vehicles weighing more than 8,000 pounds
that do most of their business in Illinois are to aid the state
budget deficit.

state-assessed fees at
