Statement By U.S. Rep. Bobby L. Rush (D-IL.)
On the Death of SunTimes Columnist Steve Neal
Chicago, IL. ---- I am saddened by Steve's death. He was a passionate and professional political reporter. Although we differed occasionally, our political views were shared views.
The lunches that we shared at Binions, Eli's, Harry Caray's and Army & Lou's were often provocative, political and pleasant.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family, his wife Susan, his children, and to all of his dedicated readers. The loss of Steve creates a tremendous vacuum in the body politic in our city and in our nation.
