Director's Desk KENNETH A. ALDERSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Nineteen ninety-six looks to be a very busy and exciting year for the Illinois Municipal League and its membership. The IML Board of Directors and League staff have many projects on the agenda for the new year.

First and foremost on that agenda is passage of the Unfunded Mandates Constitutional Amendment. As mentioned in previous columns passage of the Constitutional Amendment is the number one legislative priority for the League in 1996.

The hourglass on the cover of this issue of the Review symbolizes the deadline we face. The Constitutional Amendment must be approved by both the House and Senate by May 3 to be placed on the November ballot. You will be seeing the hourglass logo frequently in the coming months as we continue to stress the urgency of our effort.

As always, we need your support and participation if the Unfunded Mandates Constitutional Amendment is to become a reality. Contact your legislator, your fellow municipal and other local officials and area media, and voice your support for this important measure.

Best wishes for a successful 1996. •
