RETAIL: Strengthening Communities Across Illinois
Wednesday, Apr 8, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Sprinkle & Spoon in Galesburg serves up delicious, allergy-friendly frozen treats that never compromise on flavor. Co-owner Lora Barajas, one of the estimated 16.5 million Americans with a milk allergy, opened the shop with her siblings in 2021. Made from scratch and free of dairy, nuts, gluten, and eggs, every scoop delivers rich flavor. Whether you have allergies or simply love a great dessert, Sprinkle & Spoon is the perfect place to indulge. Retail generates $7.3 billion in income and sales tax revenue each year in Illinois. These funds support public safety, infrastructure, education, and other important programs we all rely on every day. In fact, retail is the second largest revenue generator for the State of Illinois and the largest revenue generator for local governments. Policies that support small businesses help communities thrive as retailers like Lora in Galesburg are better equipped to meet local needs.

Built For Illinois. Built With Transparency.
Wednesday, Apr 8, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Public safety technology only works when communities trust it. That’s why Flock Safety built privacy and transparency into every layer of our system from the beginning of the design cycle — not as an afterthought. In Illinois, that means:
• Only local law enforcement decides who can access data. Flock never shares without explicit permission. • Compliant with Illinois law. Sharing data with out of state agencies is regulated. • Automatic deletion. All LPR data is permanently deleted in accordance with an agency’s retention schedule. • No backdoors. Private customers cannot access law enforcement data. • No facial recognition. • Flock Safety is trusted by hundreds of Illinois law enforcement agencies — from Crystal Lake to Champaign — because we believe safety and privacy have to coexist. Not someday. Now. See how we’re building trust in Illinois.
