Bloomington Bison, new ECHL hockey team, going to reveal their jersey today for their inaugural season. They have a fun goofy Abe Bison-like logo, so hoping for a fun look for the team and fingers crossed that the area supports the team.

“Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul filed a civil lawsuit on Wednesday at the Will County Courthouse to keep downtown Joliet’s Rialto Square Theatre shutdown indefinitely because of air pollution concerns. […]The lawsuit was filed at the request of the Illinois EPA against the defendants and is an action to restrain a substantial danger to public health and welfare, and to the environment”

Watching the Dolton Mayor saga play out. Is our rule of law so inadequate that she can continue to drain tax payer dollars so egregiously?

Now that there has been a court determination that Trump Tower is violating state and federal environmental laws with its discgarges into the Chicago River, can we bring back the effort to get the “TRUMP” signage eyesore removed from the Chicago riverfront?
Let’s get to work remediating our Chicago postcard pollution today.

If this was on the blog yesterday I missed it.
McLean County Republicans had their annual dinner the same night as the debate and Kathy Salvi has some pretty wild quotes with her pitch to Trump skeptics being to vote for Trump and then just turn your TV off the nect 4 years if you don’t want to see him. That Illinois Republican Party is something else

Two independent threats made against schools here. Police and the Sheriff reacted very quickly last night and located both kids that made the threats. In one case the parents of the kid also had legally owned firearms which the police also took. They reacted well in tracing these down.

The White Sox have fifteen games left, and only need to lose 6 to break the record. Sorry Sox fans. But with the Cubs and Cards fighting out to see who can be the most average team in baseball, I am interested to see what your team can do.

Way to go, D-Town law enforcement. Good work.

When our illustrious Mayor Misty Buscher isn’t trying to criminalize homelessness, she’s pushing women off of public property before arresting them for spilling water.
Can’t wait to see what great idea she has next.
