Be careful while driving on I-55 in northern Montgomery County IL. Combination of newly plowed fields & gusty northwest winds is generating a dust storm in this area. Also, there have been reports of several accidents in the area due to reduction in visibility. #ilwx

For those wondering, there are more than 55 amendments that have been filed by representatives to add on to this Senate bill. I call this "lighting a bill up like a Christmas tree." If you talk to my friend,

Spencer says finally she was not consulted directly. Sounds like Narayan had similar experience.

Tyus to - did you get asked to be in leadership?
She doesn't answer directly, but says if one alder feels like it isn't transparent, if we are leaving just one voice out, my heart is with them
