State Budget Impasse Advocacy

A Community Effort through Canton Area Ministerial Alliance

Thanks to our community for your help and effort!

9/20/2017

 
Now that the state has passed a budget and a school funding formula, CAMA's state budget work has come to a conclusion for the time being. We thank you for your energy and engagement over the summer, and invite you to join with CAMA in the future to discuss important community issues and work to make the Canton area an even better place to live, work, and grow!

State Budget Impasse Forum Video

6/16/2017

 
CAMA thanks Mark Bixler for producing this video of the State Budget Impasse Forum on June 12, 2017 at Canton High School! Over 400 people participated in the forum, and more than 50 devices turned into a Facebook Live stream of the event, which helped inform the Canton community about the challenges--present and future--that the lack of a state budget presents for social services, nursing homes, Canton schools, and Spoon River College.

    Canton Area Ministerial Alliance (CAMA)

    CAMA unites congregations in the Canton area to engage in community ministry. In 2017, several CAMA pastors joined with local educational, social service, and business leaders to encourage Illinois lawmakers to end the  budget impasse, that began in 2015.
