Senator Durbin and Wife Loretta Have a Vested Interest in Government Funded Education

As everyone knows, Senator Dick Durbin believes in the federal government spending a lot of money on education. Durbin is a big supporter of Pell Grants , and universities receiving federal research dollars. Some of that money Durbin votes on goes to Eastern Illinois University where his wife Loretta has received lobbying dollars from Eastern Illinois University. Just a reminder , the next time Dick Durbin talks about serving "the public interest". Government involvement in education sure is important to the Durbins.
