State Senator Andy Manar says that it is finally time for some real ethics reform in Illinois.

The situation regarding Speaker Michael Madigan is both concerning and extremely distracting, according to Senator Manar.

Speaker Madigan needs to be open to answering questions.

Senator Manar is also encouraging families to please complete the SIU Medicine’s Farm Family Resource Initiative survey. The survey is “aimed to improve a wide range of services that will be available to them from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine’s Farm Family Resource Initiave Program in the coming months.” 

Senator Manar was quoted as saying that, “Farmers and farm families are the lifeblood of our state’s economy, and they face unique challenges. By prioritizing programs like the Farm Family Resource Initiative through a trusted partner like Southern Illinois University, we have the ability to reach out with support during this immensely difficult period.”
