SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, issued the following statement in response to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s State of the State address Wednesday.

“The problem this past year has not been with the governor’s initiatives, but with his actions,” Bush said. “After a year that pulled the rug out from under seniors, children and the needy, I hope his call for cooperation is real. It is time for Illinois to move past partisan bickering.”
