GODFREY - A local Paralympian is gearing up for the Paris 2024 Games with a new wheelchair. Eric Newby, who lives in Godfrey, plays wheelchair rugby and is co-captain of Team USA.

Durbin has repeatedly criticized FDA for its long-overdue review of pre-market tobacco product applications (PMTAs) from e-cigarette manufacturers, which had a federal court deadline of September 9, 2021. FDA has missed that court-ordered deadline by 28 months as unauthorized e-cigarettes flood the market and addict America’s children. “This repeated failure to meet FDA’s own stated projections tells us FDA is not meeting its obligations under the court order.
