Title (Max 100 Characters)
BENTON, IL (KFVS) - The president of the Illinois state senate will be in Benton, Illlinois on Monday to address the upcoming closure of Tamms prison.
Senate President John Cullerton will be joined by State Senator Gary Forby on the steps of the Franklin County Courthouse Monday at 2 p.m.
“I’ve been fighting hard, alongside other southern Illinois legislators, to keep all of our downstate facilities open,” Forby said. “But it takes the support of many other legislators throughout our state to make this happen. To have the support of the Senate President, and to have him stand alongside of me in the heart of my district, is a very big step in the right direction.”
John Cullerton, who represents Illinois 6th District, has been Senate President since 2009.
