Funeral services for former Republican Governor Jim Edgar will take place in Springfield Saturday.
Democratic Governor J-B Pritzker has called Edgar a model public servant.
And Democratic House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch described him as a “damn good governor.”
Before his death, Edgar spent almost three hours talking to WBEZ’s Dave McKinney about his life and legacy, his cancer battle and a Republican Party under Donald Trump he no longer recognizes.
