2 years 6 months ago
At the end of the year, Ray Hartmann will end his radio show on KTRS 550 AM. He did "St. Louis in the Know with Ray Hartmann" for just over three years and is stepping down because he says that between Donnybrook, writing for the RFT and KTRS he only sleeps four hours a night and needs to cut back. "I'm in denial about my old age, but this nighttime radio schedule has convinced my body it's a real thing," says Hartmann, who is 70.

SPRINGFIELD – Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement after the conclusion of the 2022 legislative session. “As we conclude the 2022 veto session, I want to congratulate the lawmakers and advocates who came together on behalf of the people of Illinois and made this session a success. Government is at its best when we come together across party lines to make Illinois the best it can be. “For almost six months, working groups of legislators have been hard at work with victims’ advocates, state’s attorneys, public defenders, law enforcement partners and others to clarify language in the SAFE-T Act, which goes into effect January 1 st .
