Acknowledgements

A debt of gratitude is owed to Myrna Goldberg and her daughter, Allison Goldberg for taking a stand and working to advance this bill. It simply would not be where it is today without them.

Expert guidance was provided by Jen Margolis and Cindi Canary. My deepest gratitude to House Republican staff members Laura Minzer and Colleen Atterbury, for their patience and unwavering kindness.

The photographs of Teresa Ollila are both beautiful and deeply appreciated. The publicly-spirited talents of Christine Brown tranformed a few sketches into a working website CHICAGO TECH PROJECTS >>>

Chris Badowski, together with Julie Russo, provided not one, but two, three, four . . . oh, so many eleventh-hour saves. And to Amy Rubenstein, whose friendship and editorial expertise I rely on like the sun, thank you.
