On Aug. 11, State Rep. Tony McCombie (R-Savanna), the House minority leader, criticized Illinois Democrats for their perceived extremism and failure to prioritize problem-solving. McCombie’s comments came after Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s veto of a clean energy pathway bill, which he claims would have provided affordable and clean energy options for the state, accusing the Democrats of prioritizing virtue signaling over practical solutions.
Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) visited Williamsfield Schools to highlight recently-announced federal investments for energy upgrades that will lower utility costs, improve air quality, and create healthier learning environments.
