State Senator Bill Brady took a few minutes after the Governor's State of the State address Wednesday afternoon to provide his thoughts.

Sen. Brady says the agenda the Governor outlined gets right to the core of what Illinois needs. He feels a budget won't solve Illinois' problems, and applauds him for sticking to what he believes.
