Hare Calls on Burris to Resign
Joining The Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune, Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.) today called on Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) to resign.
Burris has faced increasing pressure following the revelation that he tried to raise money for then-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) before being appointed to the Senate.
See Hare’s statement below:
I am deeply disappointed that Senator Burris hid the fact that he attempted to raise money for former Governor Blagojevich at the same time he was lobbying for an appointment to the U.S. Senate.
