In their letter, the Senators called for more clarity on the future of transportation and infrastructure grants and formula funding for states that were included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was strongly supported by both Durbin and Duckworth. “We are writing to express concern with the Trump Administration’s efforts to pause all Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding—an attempt that was plunged further into chaos by the now-rescinded memo from the Office of Management and Budget, which directed all federal agencies to pause activities related to the obligation or disbursement of federal financial assistance,” the Senators wrote.

ALTON - Jennifer Mallory has rediscovered joy. Mallory is the Artist of the Month at Milton Schoolhouse this month, and she is eager to display her work and share that joy with the community. Painting brightly-colored items and images that bring her happiness has helped her manage depression and burnout. In all her art, she hopes to “find joy, spread love, instill hope.” “Painting always gets me out of my head,” she said. “It’s like magic. It just makes me feel better. I pick subject matter that is uplifting and cheerful for me.” Mallory served as an art teacher for 25 years. She loved it for 20 years, and then the demands of parenthood and teaching together began to take a toll. Eventually, she made the decision to leave her job and try to find that passion for art that had once guided her. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all Mallory did was paint. She found a new style: uplifting, bright colors and subject matter that began to pull
