Air quality alerts have been issued in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
but the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said a shift in
the wind could impact Illinois.
The Canadian National Wildland Fire Situation report said the
chance for more wildfires this summer appears to be high.
$21 million unclaimed returned
Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs said his office last month
returned nearly $21 million to Illinoisans as part of the I-CASH
program.
The total for April included over $19 million in cash and
interest and nearly $1 million in stock value that was returned
to over 16,000 people.
So far this year, the treasurer’s office said it has returned
over $77 million to state residents.
'Most normal state'
A new study has ranked Illinois as the “most normal state in the
country."
Data compiled by the Washington Post considered 30 socioeconomic
factors such as race, religion, education, income and social
issues and found that Illinois was the state that most closely
resembled the U.S. average.
The study also compared each state to its best match as how it
compares with others on the variables, finding Illinois’ best
match to be New York.
