In September, he also encouraged his constituents to take part in webinars to advance farm safety.
He also recently spoke about the decisions that had to be made for school funding. In an Aug. 29 article on evidence-based funding in Illinois, Barickman spoke of the necessity of passing legislation on school funding. “It was a politically practical, pragmatic decision," Barickman said. "I was very focused on getting something done. And it was very apparent to me that we weren't going to get something done without a hold-harmless. So while I think a hold-harmless has policy challenges, we weren't going to let perfection get in the way of getting something done."
