Lawmakers raise concerns about Illinois ag economy
Illinois' core industry - agriculture - is facing multiple threats from Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and I have joined a group of lawmakers stepping forward to protect key programs. Joining me in spearheading this bipartisan effort are state Sens. John O. Jones, R-Mount Vernon, Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, and Gary Dahl, R-Granville, and Senate Republican Leader Frank Watson, R-Greenville. We are emphasizing the need for all sides to come together to restore the state's commitment to agriculture - the state's largest industry - and develop solutions. The first step was a joint House-Senate hearing held April 16 (visit http://burzynski.senategop.org for video of our Senate press conference on the issue).
