she`s the unions quality/safety chairman. the agency she works for is one of the best in the state but there`s always need for improvement. right now in illinois we are facing the same problem as alabama..our democratic governor wants to close several mental/psychically disabled facilities and several prisons. needless to say the unions are fighting this action.
