Senate Appropriations Committee Advances Spending Bills With Illinois Priorities Secured By Durbin, Duckworth

Press Release

"These bills make critical investments in Illinois. I'm glad the Senate Appropriations Committee was able to come together on a bipartisan basis to advance these bills, which will benefit families, communities, and the economy in Illinois. Senators and Representatives know their states and districts better than federal agency personnel in Washington, and I'm pleased we can deliver direct results through Congressionally Directed Spending. I will continue to work with my colleagues to see these priorities across the finish line.

Our state and our nation are stronger when we invest in our communities and families--and that's what these bipartisan funding bills do. I'm proud I was able to help secure critical support for projects all throughout our state that help keep our communities safe and support our working families."
