budget is balanced and the city’s future is bright, are these statements grounded in fact…or are they a grand illusion? Participate in this special symposium with Shelia Weinberg, CEO of Truth in Accounting, and explore:
- The slight of hand the City of Chicago uses to “balance” its budget
- The average household financial burden for Chicago residents
- Are we headed to bankruptcy like Detroit or Stockton, CA
- Possible solutions and how we can make Chicago’s and your own personal fiscal future rosier!
