YWCA Response to Governor Quinn's FY11 Budget Address
YWCA Metropolitan Chicago can appreciate the enormous task facing the governor during this unprecedented fiscal crisis, yet we are painfully aware that this plan will primarily harm women and their families, already vulnerable to economic instability in this recession.
