    There is some justice in today's $1.9 billion fine of British bank HSBC for money laundering on behalf of Mexican drug cartels and nations such as Iran that are under international sanctions. But does this action - as opposed to a more hars...
    h penalty - not only again enshrine "too big to fail" but also "too big to indict?" As a representative who opposed the Wall Street bailout, I am concerned that some bankers are once again getting away with bad behavior.

    As Washington continues to struggle to avoid the fiscal cliff, I am working this week with a bipartisan group of legislators to develop a plan to not only avoid the “cliff,” but to put the nation on a fiscally sustainable path. I was walking in a Christmas parade last weekend when someone yelled out about solving the fiscal cliff, concluding with one word, ‘compromise.’ That is exactly what we need to do.

    I spoke at a dedication ceremony today for the new 80th Avenue Station on Metra's Rock Island District Line. The station is a wonderful addition to the community. I'm sure riders appreciate the modern amenities that will make public transportation a more attractive option for their daily commutes. I wish to congratulate Mayor Ed Zabrocki and Metra Chairman Brad O'Halloran on a station that everyone can be proud of.

    School officials visited my office when they were in Washington D.C. last week to receive the prestigious award in person. I am especially proud because St. John of the Cross is my home parish. Congrats to all of the students, teachers and administrators who made this award possible.
