The Older Americans Act provides supported services to older adults 60 years and older. Federal funding is given to State agencies on aging. Funding for this act is scarce because of this populations constant growth. Funding for this Act needs to remain available.

Whereas our federal government is not a business that must balance its budget, but rather a sovereign state that can create any amount of fiat currency, need never borrow, and can never become insolvent, we are limited only by time, material, labor, and productive capacity and not by a lack of dollars so that our problem is not an excess of necessary federal spending but an excess of unnecessary borrowing, To finance WW II, the Fed pegged Treasury bonds at an almost-zero interest rate and bought as many bonds as Treasury needed to pay the nation’s wartime salaries. After the war, consumers spent their savings on homes and cars, starting 35 years of prosperity without harmful inflation, This law would let the Treasury spend even with a deficit and still not increase the national debt.

This law currently forces property owners to maintain public sidewalks fronting their property even if the damage to the sidewalk has been caused by the negligence of others. It imposes an unfair burden on property owners to take on the costs of maintenance of public property, when in nearly all other cases, maintenance of public property is the responsibility of the city, having access to both the pooled resources of the community and who hold the ability to tax and sell bonds for such repairs.

Illinois' pension-fund shortfall is by far the largest in the nation. Simply put, Illinois' unfunded pension liability is massive. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn says the $96 billion of liability has been accumulating for decades, with the state's pension problems dating back at least 70 years. "There have been 12 governors, 13 speakers of the House and 13 presidents of the Senate that have come and gone, and the issue has kind of confounded our predecessors," he says. Over those many years, Illinois' teachers, state troopers, university professors and other state employees have been paying their share, contributing about 8 to 12 percent out of every paycheck to their pension funds. But the state hasn't. Illinois' governors and lawmakers have frequently shortchanged the pension systems. They've even skipped some pension payments altogether so they could more freely spend on things more popular with the voters, such as schools, highways, health care and prisons. The result, says Quinn, is a huge pension shortfall that is growing bigger by the day."Our liability every day goes up by $17 million, so we've got to deal with this," he says.

The lack of adequate response from BOG-FAG concerning trapping and bear baiting issues on residential and multiple use public lands is a safety issue for all users. There is possibly a legal issue as well since trapping limits the safe use of public lands to a single use by minority users.
