Surrounded by police, firefighters and other first responders Wednesday in Moline, Illinois Comptroller Susana A. Mendoza and Illinois State Rep. Mike Halpin, D-Rock Island, argued for state legislation that would help families of fallen first responders and others. 'This is exactly the kind of legislation that every legislator of any party should support and sign on as a co-sponsor,' Mendoza said at Wednesday's event at the Moline Police Department, according to a news release. In 2021, more Illinois police officers died in the line of duty than had been projected.
