While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”,
i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

I covered a great game between Ottawa and Kaneland baseball tonight. It was a hard-fought game between both teams. Hopefully, some future sports awards will be submitted from this game. @OHS__baseball

I traveled to Kankakee today to take photos of the aftermath of the Kankakee and an Aroma Park tornado.
From the moment I saw the devastation, it brought back memories from Utica in 2004. That’s where I got my start. @TDJnews @NewsTrib @MyWebTimes

Wow, it’s dry out there! The latest U.S. Drought Monitor was released this morning, and the outlook isn’t great for the Illinois Valley. Much of the western part of the area is now under moderate drought or abnormally dry conditions.
