Illinois Marriage Equality BillAs reported in The Chicago Tribune, the first Illinois House Republican among leadership and the second overall, State Representative Ed Sullivan Jr., said Sunday that he is in support of the bill allowing same-sex marriages in the state.

Sullivan told reporters that he believes there is significant momentum leading up to the vote on same-sex marriage.  He said he heard several of his Republican colleagues discuss same-sex marriage, calling passage of the bill the right step to take.  The issue, according to Sullivan, is one of fairness—marriage equality.  He said that he thinks the bill corresponds to his party’s belief in treating all people fairly.  He believes even more of his Republican House colleagues will become supporters of the bill.  There are 47 Republicans serving in the Illinois House.

Five Stars5 Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for

Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for in a very complicated, emotional matter. She has continuously looked out for my best interest and the best interest of my son. She is always prompt in getting back to me and in keeping me well informed about my case.
