"Your Voice That Bridges The Area Communities Together."

Southeastern Illinois College’s career and technical programs connect training to employers in fields where practical judgment matters. That same principle should guide AI adoption.
Stanford’s August employment analysis finds U.S. workers ages 22-25 in highly AI-exposed occupations about 19% below the employment path of similarly aged workers in less-exposed occupations. [Read more...]

Many of you have asked me what has happened within the White County GOP Central Committee in recent weeks. I thought I would share some thoughts and information.
Because I stood up when others would not, to fight for the constituents in my Precinct and Township, I was attacked by Precinct Committeepersons for not following a party line, for not going along to get along, so to speak. Because I spoke out when I heard a Republican official make statements I knew to be false in order to enhance their campaign, I was reprimanded for not supporting the party. Some in the WCCC leadership felt I was not supposed to help those who came to me with concerns, or investigate allegations that might turn out to be wrong-doing or possibly criminal activity. At no time did the leadership or Precinct Committeepersons who objected come to me to ask for my perspective or reasons for my actions. [Read more...]

Former State Senator and candidate for Governor, Darren Bailey, says the Governor’s State of the State Address offered flowery language and a rosy picture of Illinois most residents simply are not experiencing thanks to the Governor’s failed policies.
“This afternoon, Illinois families heard a lot of numbers,” Bailey said. “A lot of self-congratulation and an endless supply of political theater. What they didn’t hear was an honest acknowledgment of what life actually feels like right now in Illinois. Families aren’t living inside GDP statistics. They’re living inside grocery stores where prices are still high. They’re opening property tax bills that feel impossible. They’re staring at utility bills that keep climbing. And today’s address offered more government – not the relief they need and deserve.” [Read more...]

JB Pritzker’s State of the State address was nothing more than a reminder of how detached he is from the real issues the people of Illinois face everyday!
Our state is dealing with taxes, taxes and more taxes! Our communities aren't safe and the illegals are more prioritized over the American people he was elected to serve. He consistently wants to blame Pres. Trump for all his own failures. [Read more...]

1. White County is an extraordinarily generous community. The numerous churches, private businesses, fraternal organizations, WLWC, PaR, WCCftC, WCSC, smaller entities, so many volunteers, all giving their time, efforts and resources to make White County a better place. Thank you.
2. A special thanks to the Absher Charitable Foundation for their continued magnanimous works. The medical clinic on Route 1, the 100+ ongoing college scholarships, the assistance to the Carmi Fire Department, White County Ambulance Service, NCSD, CWCSD, etc. There are numerous other projects that the ACF has been involved with also. This county is so very blessed that Henry, Jane and Ron ‘cooked up’ the idea of the ACF.
