Last week, Senator Link was pleased to welcome Jong-Kook Lee, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Chicago, to the Illinois Senate. The Consulate General covers 13 Midwest states. The Midwest is home to more than 28,000 Korean-Americans, students and business people of Korea.

State Senator Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills) issued the following statement in regards to the violence that occured in Charlottesville, Virginia:

"The images coming out of Charlottesville are a disturbing reminder that we must all remain vigilant against hatred and intolerance. That hatred has no place anywhere in the United States of America and should be condemned by all."

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills) issued the following response to the governor’s press conference today regarding school funding reform:

“If Gov. Rauner really cares about the students, teachers and parents in Waukegan, then he will sign Senate Bill 1 as soon as it reaches his desk. Under the new evidence-based formula, Waukegan School District would receive $14.5 million more in funding.

Waukegan School District would receive $919 more per student under Senate Bill 1. That makes it one of 268 school districts across Illinois to actually get more money than Chicago Public Schools, a fact the governor fails to mention.

The children of Waukegan are not political talking points, governor. Sign the bill.”
