Happy Tax Day! Well, I don’t know about happy, but today is an important reminder that all citizens should ask themselves: are our political leaders being fiscally responsible with our hardworking money? If not, we need to send them a message in November!

I’m back from a week in Asia where I spoke at the Green Energy Expo in Daegu, Korea. I was promoting American manufacturers in the energy industry. It was a successful trip as our firms were able to successfully negotiate a glass coating manufacturing company based in Seoul, Korea to open their first overseas manufacturing plant here in Chicago. This will mean much needed jobs to the residents on the west side of Chicago.

Also, I spoke to the Young Executives Club monthly luncheon in Chicago today. What a great group of young executives! Their knowledge of Illinois’ economic situation was impressive and they peppered me with challenging questions.
