State Senator Napoleon Harris (D-Harvey) held office hours and hosted an I-Cash event in his district office earlier this month.

About 60 constituents attended, many taking the opportunity to sit down with Senator Harris and ask questions or discuss problems they may be having.

"It was a good experience to see friends and meet people I hadn't met yet," Harris said. "It is important for me to know what constituents are concerned about so that I can most effectively represent them in Springfield."

Sen. Harris plans to schedule another office hours event this summer.

A representative from the Illinois State Treasurer’s office was on hand to help attendees find unclaimed money through the state’s I-Cash program. I-Cash helps Illinoisans find utility deposits, remainders in dormant or closed accounts or other money or valuables. For more information on I-Cash, visit their website.
