Lobbyists Greg St. Aubin and Julie Sullivan won’t be doing any grilling this weekend because they’ll monitoring legislative activity at the State Capitol on behalf of REALTORS® and property owners.

While REALTORS® try to squeeze in a picnic, a barbecue or a sporting event sometime during the Memorial Day weekend, the Illinois REALTORS® statehouse lobbyists are monitoring activity at the State Capitol.

The General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn on May 31 and many bills are under consideration that could affect REALTORS® and property owners they represent. And of course, legislators are also working to resolve the state budget crisis. Since the House is scheduled to meet Sunday and Monday and the Senate is scheduled to meet Monday, lobbyists figure to have a very busy weekend keeping up with advancing legislation.
