“I first met Laurence Msall while I was serving on the DuPage County Board when he presented the Civic Federation’s review of the county’s annual budget. I have long-since admired his non-partisan approach and dedication to transparent, responsible and future-focused budgeting for all levels of government. His sense of duty to Illinois was unmatched and he performed his difficult work with grace, wisdom, and integrity. I will be remembering Laurence and his gifts to our state today and sending prayers to his family, colleagues and many friends.”
