It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you as State Senator of the 29th District for the past six years. Because of your support, we have accomplished so much in that time.
During the last ten years, including four years in the House of Representatives, I have passed major ethics legislation, put limits on the use of eminent domain, passed bills to provide improved services for people with developmental disabilities, provided protections for condominium owners, and much more. Click here to see a complete listing of legislation that has been enacted into law.
In this 2008-2009 legislative session, I will continue to focus on reform by introducing bills to provide for oversight and transparency for state board appointees and accountability on spending on RTA tax revenues. Additionally, as Chair of Public Health in the Illinois Senate, I continue to work for better access and a better, fairer health care system.
You have kept me informed of important local issues in the district, and together we've been able to resolve many of them. Thank you!
It enables me to do my best to provide the services that the residents of the 29th District need and deserve, and it allows me to focus on the best interests of my constituents when I'm in Springfield.
