DECATUR, Ill. – With the spring legislative session set to begin next month, state Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, is reaching out to constituents for suggestions on potential legislation

“I care about the families in our community, and I want to hear their legislative ideas on how to improve our state,” Scherer said. “I learn so much about issues that affect people in my district from listening to people on their doorstep or attending community events, and I want residents’ input as I prepare my legislative agenda for this upcoming session.”

The Illinois General Assembly will reconvene for the spring session beginning in January.
