He was appointed to the 45th District seat in the Illinois State Senate on March 7, 2008 Senator Bivins’ priorities reflect those held by northwestern Illinois citizens. He supports family values. Having served more than 32 years in law enforcement, he is committed to keeping the communities and neighborhoods safe. To get the state budget back on track, he advocates a return to fiscal discipline and spending restraint, rather than more borrowing or saddling future generations with huge debt. He supports tax cuts to stimulate the economy and keep businesses growing. He is a strong supporter of Constitutionally-protected gun rights. Four of five bills sponsored by Senator Bivins in his first legislative session � covering ethics, local schools, county jails and law enforcement � were passed by lawmakers. The 45th District Senator also finished the fiscal year with money to spare in his legislative account � which he returned to the state’s coffers. During the fall of 2008, he sponsored a number of public hearings in northwestern Illinois about the closing of state parks and historic sites by former Governor Rod Blagojevich. |
