For decades, Orion Samuelson brought his comforting voices to the homes of many through his agriculture reports and work on WGN Radio. We will miss hearing him on-air, seeing him at the Illinois State Fair, and listening to his reports that helped guide our farmers to success over the years. I went to the House floor last week to thank Orion for his years of work and service and wish him success in his well-earned retirement. | Rep. Darin LaHood
