Dear neighbor,

Moving forward with our commitment to making Illinois the best place to live, work and raise a family, the General Assembly recently passed our sixth consecutive balanced budget. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget prioritizes key areas including education, public safety, economic development and more.

I supported this compassionate budget that invests in our youth, offers assistance to hardworking families, uplifts underserved communities and reflects the needs of the 36th District. Read my full statement here.

Now that my fellow lawmakers and I have returned home for the summer, I want to highlight some of the important funding in the budget this year, as well as the kick off of our 2024 Summer Book Club program.  

Please reach out to my Rock Island office at (309) 558-3612, Galesburg office at (309) 297-4483 or online at SenatorHalpin.com if you have any questions or need assistance.

Sincerely,

SPRINGFIELD – To help protect consumers from utility scams, State Senator Mike Halpin spearheaded a resolution in the Senate declaring Nov. 20, 2024 as Utility Scam Awareness Day.

“Scammers are smart and ever-evolving with their tactics to trick customers into sharing personal or financial information,” said Halpin (D-Rock Island). “This leaves residents unaware and unable to decipher if a phone call, text or email is from their utility company or not.”
