Illinois Secretary of State’s office facilities, courts, and utility offices are all open now – but our unemployment offices that many still desperately need remain closed. As CBS 2's Tara Molina reports, some state lawmakers are looking to change that.
Hunter
EDWARDSVILLE A woman claims she tripped on a piece of rebar from a concrete parking bumper at the Secretary of State s Office in East Alton and suffered injuries.
Diana Tinnon filed a complaint Jan. 21 in the Madison County Circuit Court against St. Louis Regional Airport, alleging negligence.
According to her complaint, Tinnon was attempting to renew her license at the Secretary of State s Office located on Terminal Drive in East Alton, a property leased by the defendant. She alleges that after parking her car in the parking lot and walking towards the office building, her foot became caught on an exposed rebar on a broken concrete parking bumper. Tinnon claims she fell and hit the ground and landed on her knee and wrist.
Gov. Jim Justice
CHARLESTON – Gov. Jim Justice maintains the first list of potential replacements from Wayne County to fill a recent House of Delegates vacancy did not meet state code, and the state Republican Party agrees.
The governor’s office, through Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s office, submitted its response February 1 to a petition filed by Wayne County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Jeff Maynard, who says Justice did not follow law in how he chose a candidate to fill the seat vacated by Derrick Evans, the lawmaker who took part in the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
In its own response, the state Republican Party agrees with the governor’s office.
