A week that has been difficult for Illinois first responders as the State of Illinois overhauled regulations for law enforcement and the criminal justice system, a Clinton City Council member offered some positive thoughts to our local first responders. 

After witnessing the showing of support for the passing of local veteran, James Dolly, whose funeral and procession was Tuesday, Commissioner John Wise at the Monday night Clinton City Council meeting says it shows the support and comradery the community has when it comes to supporting one another.

Clinton Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements, Ken Buchanan is encouraging the community to get those branches and brush out to the curbs so their crews can get everything picked up and hauled off.

According to Commissioner of Finance, Tom Edmunds, the City is continuing to receive good news on sales tax, however, state income tax, motor fuel tax and gaming taxes are down.

No business to be voted on was on the agenda for Tuesday night.
