FOX LAKE – Following the release of the Illinois Supreme Court split decision to allow the elimination of cash bail in Illinois, State Representative Tom Weber (R-Lake Villa) issued the following response:

“I am extremely disappointed in this decision by the Illinois Supreme Court to eliminate cash bail, but unfortunately, I am not surprised. Illinoisans deserve safe communities where they can live, work and raise their families without fear, but once again we are left with an extreme progressive agenda that has chosen to side with criminals over families and the dedicated police officers trying to keep us safe.”
