Evans will be joined by Lansing Mayor Patty Eidam, and four other District 33 mayors have been invited to speak:
- Calumet City Mayor Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush
- Lynwood Mayor Eugene Williams
- Burnham Mayor Robert Polk
- Sauk Village Mayor Derrick Burgess
Guests are invited to gather in the pavilion at Fox Pointe to hear Rep. Evans provide a legislative update on bills and new legislation passed during session. “This informs constituents what Rep. Evans did while in Springfield—what bills he supported, sponsored, or co-sponsored,” explained Evans’ assistant and Lansing resident Micaela Smith.
The Governor’s Office will also do a presentation on the Fair Tax Plan, and there will be a question-and-answer session to address any state concerns.
Other topics of discussion include:
- Legalizing cannabis
- Expanding gambling
- The state budget
- Minimum wage
- The Reproductive Health Act
Fox Pointe is located at 18138 Henry Street in Lansing, Illinois.
