There are two inmates sentenced to jail in DuPage County set to be released from the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections during the week ending May 20.
On May 18, U.S. Representatives Sean Casten (IL-06), Elissa Slotkin (MI-07), and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Conservation Opportunity and Voluntary Environment Resilience Program (COVER) Act with original co-sponsor Representative Mike Bost (IL-12). This bill will provide a $5/acre crop insurance discount to farmers who plant cover crops to incentivize this important soil health practice, building on the federal Pandemic Cover Crop Program.
