Dick Durbin: “I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.…”

Our state’s top-notch rail system keeps our economy moving while allowing Illinoisans to travel from Chicago to Carbondale.

I secured $1 million in federal funding for Lurie Children’s to help create this community health clinic in Austin and now, that investment comes to life.

Illinois relies on rail to push our economy forward and to ensure statewide connectivity, but we’ve been missing a critical route between Chicago and the Quad Cities.

I can’t wait to see all the good that happens here.
