The city agreed to receiving the new 96-gallon receptacles several months ago due to an increase in trash pickup along with the fact that Sunrise was to furnish the new receptacles. A letter accompanying the new receptacles says residents should start using them this Thursday, which is the regular scheduled pickup day. The letter also says that only trash inside the receptacle will be collected. Illinois State Representative Adam Neimerg of Dieterich says he is opposed to legislation passed in the last General Assembly just before he was sworn in as the new Representative for the 109th District. House Bill 3653 awaits Governor J.B. Pritzker's signature, and Representative Neimerg is urging the Governor to veto the bill as it is written and "bring all stakeholders together to craft real criminal justice reform and police accountability legislation that will truly make our communities safer." The bill, if signed, would bring several changes to police procedures in the state of Illinois. Area river stages this morning: Little Wabash River east of Fairfield is at 18.57 feet.
