SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Bill Cunningham advanced a measure to ban unregulated wagering at arcades like Dave & Buster’s.

PALOS – State Senator Bill Cunningham secured more than $18,000 in grants to provide resources for local public school libraries.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Bill Cunningham is supporting a measure to simplify the college admissions process for high school seniors and community college transfer students.
“High school seniors and community college transfer students already face significant challenges as they navigate their education,” said Cunningham, a Democrat who represents portions of Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs. “The last thing they need is to be overwhelmed with a complicated admissions process full of unnecessary fees, paperwork, and delays. This bill will make it easier for students, especially those in our communities like Moraine Valley Community College, to pursue higher education without additional barriers.”
