Dick Durbin: “I announce that the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. Booker) and the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Udall) are necessarily…”

That’s why we’ve had an ongoing battle here in Washington for years against the for-profit college and university industry.

Senator Duckworth and I helped to secure $18.3 million in federal funding for the Southern Illinois Multimodal Station to better connect families, students, and small businesses to local and national destinations.

I want to recognize the incredible partnership that made this possible: Stone Community Development Corporation, Lurie Children’s, Thresholds, and Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives.

Today’s announcement means that we can see that growth sooner rather than later.
