Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and accomplishments of Moses Harrison. His judicial successes have been well chronicled, but he got elected to the Illinois Supreme Court in 1992 and served for 8 years before becoming the chief justice. However, there's probably no more credible source than my mom, who says that Moses was a nice, gentle man; everyone who knew him liked him. I also appreciated his support in a letter for me to go to the military academy at West Point. Moses was very involved in local activities and also was involved in the Episcopal Church. Mr. Harrison was preceded in death by his son, Luke. He leaves behind his wife, Sharon; his son, Judge Clarence Harrison and his wife and four grandchildren, who will greatly miss him. ____________________”
