Illinois is a disaster, politically and economically. Too often, cronyism controls who wins and loses in both elections and the marketplace. Meanwhile, an ever-shrinking tax base is liable to pay ever-expanding government debt and pension liabilities.

To fix this, the state government needs major structural reforms--the kind of reforms that can only be made through changes to the state constitution. A new book from the Illioins Policy Institute and the Liberty Justice Center, An Illinois Constitution for the Twenty-First Century, explains exactly how this could be done.

To mark the publication of this important book, the Institute is hosting this event featuring several of the book's distingusihed contributors:

Richard Epstein, University of Chicago

Robin Fretwell Wilson, University of Illinois

Timothy Sandefur, Goldwater Institute

Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Manhattan Institute

Join us as these scholars discus how to fix Illinois' big problems, from politics to pensions to protection of fundamental liberties.

This event is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited. Lunch and a copy of the book will be provided.
