Scott Reeder: Children of politicians often face
By Scott Reeder
SPRINGFIELD — It’s got to be rough to be the child of a politician.
I was thinking about that this past week after reading the obituary of former Illinois State Sen. Pat Welch.
Welch was a politician I covered for many years when I was a statehouse bureau chief for a chain of newspapers. For much of that time, he also was a single dad raising a son who had an ornery streak a mile long.
It can’t be easy to be raising a kid in an environment where everyone knows your family’s business.
