State Senator Erica Harriss has released the following statement following the resignation announcement of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner:
“The resignation of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is good news for the constituents I represent in Illinois who work and frequently visit the city. They deserve to be able to enjoy St. Louis and feel safe without fear of becoming victim to the lawlessness Attorney Gardner has allowed. I hope today’s announcement is a step in the right direction so that violent criminals are once again held accountable for their actions.”
