Congressman Rodney Davis reflects on his first SOTU Address



WASHINGTON D.C.-- Republican congressman Rodney Davis had a memorable evening Tuesday: being able to greet the President on his way out of the House chamber following the State of the Union message.
 
“We talked about Taylorville. I got the chance to re-introduce myself and talk about my district a little bit,” said U. S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville).
 
“We need to ensure we make the tax code fairer and flatter, and I was also encouraged that he brought up a kind of all-of-the-above energy approach. But the problem has been in the past, over the last four years, we haven’t seen a good track record on any of those issues with this administration, so I hope (Tuesday night is) the beginning of a new day.”
 
Davis also reacted to his being named as “uncooperative” during a fund-raising investigation into a colleague, U. S. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Peoria).  “I didn’t voluntarily submit to talk to folks when asked in June or July.  The bottom line is:  I didn’t have any information that was privy to the alleged violation, and I still don’t.”
