2013 - THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT CHARITY IS DEAD   WRONG

We have big problems here in Illinois. Big problems require bigger solutions. If we are going to actually help those who need it most, we must first innovate the way we solve our budgetary problems. TED speaker Dan Pallotta has a few ideas on how we can begin to do just that.
