As reported on February 1, 2015 by the Joliet Herald News:
"Volunteers are making deliveries one day fewer a week now. Because of financial difficulties, the Senior Services Center was forced last month to cut the meal delivery program from five days to four.
That means 500 to 600 Will County senior citizens in need enrolled in the program have to find alternative meals every Wednesday.
The center’s finances may become more dire if it doesn’t find funding to pay its line of credit soon. That line of credit was cut to $400,000 in the fall after a bank review found the value of the center’s building went down, Executive Director Patricia Hensley said.
The culprit for most of the center’s financial problems is lagging state payments. The state owes between $400,000 and $500,000 in allocated funding to the center, but hasn’t kept up on payments. It’s caused a serious cash flow problem at the center, Hensley said."
Who is on the Board of Directors of the Senior Services Center? You guessed it... Larry Walsh Jr.
See for yourself http://www.willcountyseniors.org/board-of-directors.php
As the current Illinois House Dist. 86 Representative, Larry Walsh Jr. has not contacted the former Governor Pat Quinn or the current Governor, Bruce Rauner, regarding the financial woes of the Senior Services Center. In addition, over the past 2 years (his first full term in office from 2012-2014), he has FAILED to introduce ANY legislation to the Illinois General Assembly to address the lagging state payments. Are we wrong? Prove it, we'll apologize!
We understand that the State of Illinois is in financial distress, but you can thank Walsh's predecessor, Jack McGuire for his 20-years of tax and spending and thank Walsh Jr. himself for doing nothing about the economy in his first full term of office.
The November 2014 election have come and gone and I guess a congratulations are in order for Larry Walsh Jr... Because he focused on nothing else!
