Biss Honored to Hear Obama's Address in Springfield

State Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston said it was “an honor” to hear President Barack Obama’s address to the Illinois General Assembly Wednesday in Springfield.

“President Barack Obama returned to Springfield today nine years after he announced his bid for the White House on the steps of the Old State Capitol. As he did in 2007, he called on each and every one of us to change our system of government for the better – something Americans have done time and again since our nation’s founding.

“It was an honor for President Obama to address the Illinois General Assembly – the place where he began his career in public service – as he embarks on the final year of his presidency.”
