"From the Peace Corps to elected office, Mayor Weisner was a remarkable man who honorably made public service his life's work. From advocating for equitable state education funding to promoting statewide economic development programs, I could always count on him to be an ally in Springfield and partner to Chicago. But Mayor Weisner was more than just a colleague, he was a friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Marilyn, and his family during this difficult time."
