Welcome to Invest in Communities, a coalition of regional councils of government throughout Illinois dedicated to providing valuable resources for municipalities, organizations, elected officials, and residents seeking to engage on key community issues.
Legislation recently introduced in the Illinois General Assembly threaten to destabilize the municipal public safety pension systems for police officers, firefighters and other municipal employees (under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF) and impose severe financial consequences on taxpayers throughout the state.

Contact Your Legislators
If you're interested in advocating for your community, reaching out to your State Representatives and Senators can be a powerful way to make your voice heard. You can then reach out to them via email, phone, or social media to express your concerns and make your case for the community. Remember, the more engaged citizens are in the political process, the more responsive and effective government can be.
