HARDIN - Kyle Godar, county engineer with the Calhoun County Highway Department, said road conditions in Calhoun County are mostly clear so far, but he still advises the public to avoid travel if possible. “We applied salt starting between midnight and 1 a.m. this morning,” Godar said. “Temperatures have stayed warm enough that most of the snow has melted.” While road conditions aren’t necessarily dangerous, he still advised the public to avoid driving to keep the roads clear for Highway Department workers. “I would say if they could stay off the roads if possible when there’s a snow event, that allows our drivers to do what they need to do without coming into conflict with other drivers,” he added. Godar said he hasn’t received any calls regarding accidents or power outages, but if drivers do experience dangerous road conditions, they can contact the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office at (618) 576-2417 or the Highway

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today met with Ian Jeffries, CEO of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), to discuss improving employee benefits for rail workers, including additional sick leave and personal time. While the most recent rail and labor agreement that Congress approved in December prevented a strike and provided rail workers with the largest wage increase in 50 years, it did little to reform point-based attendance policies – which enforce attendance by keeping a running tally of absences and tardiness - and penalize workers for taking time off. In the meeting, Durbin urged Jeffries to push the rail industry to explore reforming these personal time and sick leave policies. Durbin and Jeffries also spoke about the need for continued investment by the freight railroads in the Chicago Region Environment and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) Program, a public private partnership between the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois,
