ALTON - New Frontiers Home and Garden Furnishings Company is celebrating its 47th anniversary in Alton with a major sale through the month of February. Ed, Barb and Cathie, representatives with New Frontiers, stopped by “Our Daily Show!” with CJ Nasello to talk about their experience with the store and how they’ve seen it grow over the past several decades. “It’s a testament. After 47 years, you wouldn't get there by not doing all the right things,” said Cathie. “I love what I do. When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I don’t go to work.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) re-introduced bipartisan legislation to make it easier for veterans to access the benefits they’ve earned. The Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to eliminate overcomplicated language from written communications with veterans.

Companies like Comcast and Charter pretty much enjoyed a monopoly on broadband at “next generation” speeds (over 100 Mbps) in most towns.
