I’m pleased that our working relationship with the Police Benevolent and Protective Association has resulted in our ability to avoid layoffs of police officers. I appreciate the PBPA’s commitment to the citizens of Springfield.
Springfield became the Illinois state capital in 1837 with the help of a young lawyer and politician named Abraham Lincoln. He lived in the city until he left to become the 16th President of the United States, in 1861.
Springfield's state capitol building contains a flurry of legislative activity each fall and spring as Illinois is one of the largest and most influential states in the U.S. The Springfield city government utilizes a strong mayoral aldermanic council form of government to provide representation to over 120,000 residents.
