State Representative Bob Pritchard Helps Bring NIU Stephens Hall Construction To Life

Over on his Facebook Wall, State Representative Bob Prichard posts this photo of a bunch of dignitaries 'breaking ground' on a new building on the campus of Northern Illinois University in his district.

The background for the photo:

Great news for NIU and kudos for Bob Pritchard for helping bring this new facility to life.

This is exactly the type of work a good State Representative should be doing:  working to partner with institutions and organizations in their district to deliver results.  Great job, Representative Pritchard!

It is just too bad that everyone in the photo is wearing a suit jacket, though.  We have a really hard time picking out Representative Pritchard in the photo.

If they weren't wearing jackets, it'd be easy:  just look for the guy with the tie/short-sleeved shirt combo.  That's the prototypical State Representative Bob Pritchard look!

State Rep Bob Pritchard Gets Ag Sign Up For First Hybrid Corn Test in DeKalb County

In the agricultural community, this is a pretty neat move.

From Representative Pritchard's post:

The DeKalb Area Agricultural Heritage Association erected a roadside sign on Nelson Road west of DeKalb commemorating the field location in DeKalb County where hybrid corn was first tested. With me in this photo is Jim Larkin (left) from the Department of Agriculture and Doug Roberts - a grandson of one of these corn breeders at DEKALB.

Representative Bob Pritchard sure loves himself some of those short-sleeve shirts with ties, eh?  This isn't the first time we've spotted him rockin' the "Sipowicz" look.  

State Rep. Bob Pritchard Totally Pulls Off the Short-Sleeve With Tie Look

Ah, yes.  Summer.  The time when our father's would pull this move and look like High School Teachers who had no air conditioning.

Reminds the folks around the Truth Team office of one of our favorite Simpsons quotes:

Marge: Homer, I don't think you should wear a short-sleeve shirt with a tie.

Homer: Ohhh, but Sipowicz does it.

Marge: If Detective Sipowicz jumped off a cliff, would you do that too?

Homer: (as he walks away) Ohhh, I wish I was Sipowicz.'
