Main Street Alliance business owners joined Representatives Bill Foster and Debbie Halvorson at health care press events in Geneva and Joliet. Members thanked the representatives for standing with small business and voting YES on the house health care legislation.

Representative Halvorson’s event in Joliet was held at West Side Music Center. Thanks to Mark (shown with Representative Halvorson, below) and Jenny Scherf for making themselves available for the occasion. Representative Halvorson did a presentation on how the health care bill will bring down costs and help small businesses to get better coverage.

Representative Foster held his press conference outside of Architectural Resources, a Main Street Alliance business in Geneva. Representative Foster emphasized the security that the legislation would bring to entrepreneurs who too often go without real health coverage. Thanks to Alex Teipel for opening his shop to the crowd.
