SPRINGFIELD â Apple pies and containers of prepared rice and beans were hand delivered to the Springfield offices of U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Congressman Darin LaHood early Friday afternoon ahead of Independence Day.
In coming together downtown to drop off the food, a diverse group wanted to send a message as it asked the legislators to support the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. We re here to support the immigration reform, said Maria Sorto, who is from Honduras and has lived in Springfield with her family since 1994. It is something that is needed and is beneficial â not only for immigrants, but for the whole country.

Darin LaHood missed the vote when the House GOP voted to strip Liz Cheney of her leadership position in the chamber. I showed up at the polls to vote when LaHood was on the ballot. He should show up to vote on my behalf, no excuses.
It wasn t his option to vote, it was his obligation. He was elected to be our voice in Washington, D.C., and to be honest with his constituents concerning his voting record. If it’s too difficult for him to be at an important vote, then he doesn t belong there.
Was LaHood opposed to removing Cheney but didn t want to publicly admit it? Is there something to be lost from admitting it? There won’t be much gained by not voting. He was elected to deal with difficult situations, not run from them. Is he controlling his office or is his office controlling him? Why won t he tell the people taking the time to vote for him why he didn t take the time to vote for them during the Cheney hearing?
