Yesterday after work I attended the 8th Congressional Districts Intergovernmental Forum in Schuamburg, where numerous Mayors and elected officials from the 8th district talked about our friendly federal government! The major topics that we talked about were 53, health care, transportation and some small business initiatives. The congresswomen serves on the committee on Financial Services and the Committee on Small Business in the house so she had some excellent insight into issues affecting businesses that were intriguing!She made one interesting point that was kind on amazing to me, by per capita income, her district is the wealthiest in the United States that is held by a Democrat in this congress. Which if you think about it, is quite the statement on many levels, especially if you study the map!
