Letter To The Editor: I want to wholeheartedly endorse Susan Robbins for Godfrey Village Clerk. She is the only qualified candidate on the ballot. She is a certified Municipal Clerk who understands the significant role of the clerk to ensure the village is in compliance with Municipal law. As a Godfrey Trustee, I have been impressed with how she handles her clerk responsibilities and takes responsibility for her actions. She was involved with the township starting in 2001 and assumed the deputy clerk position in 2019. In all she has served 24 years as supervisor assistant, Deputy Clerk and Village Clerk. She assumed the Village Clerk roll tow years ago and had a seamless transition taking over from the previous Village Clerk, Bethany Bohn. She has always come across as a people person and runs an efficient operation while serving the public with a smile. Susan has continued to organize Mobile DMV services in Godfrey, Shred-it days and most recently put together the NO Knock ordinance

You probably recall Ajit Pai, Trump’s first FCC boss. Pai took a mindless hatchet to broadband consumer protection and media consolidation limits with no shortage of scandal. Like that time he turned a blind eye as the telecom industry used dead and fake people to generate fake support for shitty policies (like killing net neutrality). […]

Whenever you feel a headache coming on or you tweak your back, it’s common to reach into the medicine cabinet for a couple of acetaminophens (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). But does it matter which one you take? And is there anything wrong with taking both to fight off what ails you? Acetaminophen is an analgesic, which is a type of drug that reduces pain signals within your nervous system. It’s used to treat discomfort like headaches and joint pain, and to reduce fever. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is typically used to tackle issues such as back pain, menstrual cramps and toothaches. It also works to decrease fever. Sarah Sheley is a pharmacist with OSF HealthCare. She says it’s important to know that ibuprofen helps with inflammation and acetaminophen can’t do that. “The difference between the two is the fact that the ibuprofen, that anti-inflammatory component, reduces pain by affecting the production of certain

ROCKFORD – On behalf of the Diocese of Springfield and an Illinois pro-life pregnancy center, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys have filed a federal lawsuit challenging a state law that forces religious organizations to hire employees who violate their religious beliefs on reproductive issues like abortion. “Illinois can’t force pro-life religious organizations to bend their knee to the state’s secular view of abortion,” said ADF Senior Counsel Mark Lippelmann. “The Constitution protects the right of religious organizations to choose workers who will advance—rather than contradict—their religious beliefs. We urge the court to uphold these organizations’ fundamental right to serve their communities consistent with their faith.” The Diocese of Springfield affirms, proclaims, and strives to live out the teachings of the Catholic Church throughout the state of Illinois, including indispensable beliefs about reproduction,
