Danville area home health care workers who are members of the Service Employees International Union protest outside Illinois state Rep. Bill Black's office in Danville on Thursday.

DANVILLE – A small group of home health care workers picketed outside state Rep. Bill Black's Danville office Thursday morning to protest possible budget cuts of 50 percent or more in Illinois human services.

But the Danville Republican wasn't there. An aide said that he was on a long-planned vacation with his wife and that he was scheduled to return home before the Legislature comes back to Springfield next Monday.
