Jim Romensko is one of the country’s most respected media bloggers. And he has paid close attention to the plight of our unit chair Dean Olsen, who was forced to take a second job to make ends meet.
Olsen is an award-winning medical reporter at the State Journal-Register. He has covered complex issues critical to citizens of central Illinois. His work is important to the community.

Recently Romenesko updated his readers by highlighting our public campaign in Springfield.
