Illinois food banks rush to distribute 315,000 gallons of milk

SPRINGFIELD/DAVENPORT, Ia. (Illinois News Network) -- There will be no shortage of milk for hungry families in Illinois – in fact, there may be too much. Food banks across Illinois are facing a unique challenge. They have just a few months to hand out over 315,000 gallons of milk. The United States Department of Agriculture is donating the milk because it wasn't sold due to the tariff tit-for-tat. Mike Miller with the River Bend Food Bank in the Quad Cities said […]

Taxpayers foot bill for village officials’ spouses to attend conference

Continued out-migration from Illinois could mean dire consequences

DECATUR (Heartland Newsfeed) -- When it comes to Illinois' shrinking population, the numbers reported don't tell the full story.

Here we present both, as reminders during the period before a new Democratic governor takes office with a Democratic mega-majority, that the state’s messes will only worsen. Until lawmakers take decisive action. First, the awful numbers: For several years we’ve cited the figure of $130 billion to represent Illinois’ […]
