State Representative Joe Sosnowski issued the following statement on the loss of Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka:
“My thoughts and prayers are with Judy Baar Topinka’s friends and family. I had the opportunity to work in her office over a college summer years ago, and I was able to see first hand her passion for the State of Illinois and for doing the right thing. As a legislator, I appreciated working with her and respected her common sense, straight forward approach. She was one of a kind and will be missed.”
