Durbin says he'll work with Burris
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin sounds resigned to fellow Illinois Democrat Roland Burris remaining in the Senate for the next two years.
Durbin has called for Burris' resignation, but says he'll still work with the embattled senator. Durbin says Burris has a vote in the Senate like everyone else and it's an important vote.
Burris has given no indication that he'll resign. He's under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee and the Sangamon County officials for allegations that he wasn't truthful about circumstances surrounding his Senate appointment by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Burris has denied wrongdoing.
Durbin says the economy should now be the most important issue at hand.
Durbin discussed home foreclosures Monday at a news conference on Chicago's northwest side.
