Sen. President John Cullerton’s Chicago Tribune Op-Ed: Response to 3/20 Editorial

On March 20, 2010, the

Chicago
Tribune crafted and published an editorial opinion that, in part, accuses Illinois Senate President John Cullerton for a strategy of “delay and deny” when it comes to the most pressing issues facing our state.  This editorial is one of a constant series from the Tribune that neglects to reasonably consider or credit the efforts of lawmakers who seek to find common ground to achieve economic and budget solutions.

Accusations that Democratic legislators are doing nothing to address the serious challenges facing

Illinois
are matters of opinion.  The Tribune has refused to publish the full response.  In addition, the Tribune indicated that it will not publish a response that says the March 20th editorial was “riddled with inaccuracies.” 

Cullerton’s full response has been posted here.
