Pritzker is emphasizing clean energy in the wake of the ComEd scandal.
After months of declining to endorse any specific plan to both get Illinois on a path to 100% renewable energy and crack down on public utilities’ power in Springfield, Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday entered the already raucous fight with his own legislation that will compete with at least three other proposals that have already been introduced.
Pritzker’s plan incorporates some elements of the other already-proposed measures, including ending an energy rate formula lawmakers approved in 2011, championed by utility giants Commonwealth Edison and Ameren. The proposal would also phase out coal by 2030, and end natural gas use by 2045 by reducing caps on greenhouse gas emissions year over year, and implementing an $8 per ton carbon price on emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric plants.

After spending the last two seasons as the Hartley girls cross country coach, Jim McKay is excited about what he might be able to bring to the girls track and field program this spring.
McKay, who previously coached with the New World Track Club in Columbus, competed collegiately for the University of Washington and coached cross country at a high school in Seattle before relocating to central Ohio about two decades ago.
“I’ve been the head cross country coach (at Hartley) for two years and last year I was an assistant coach (for girls track), but the season only lasted three weeks,” McKay said. “This is kind of new in a lot of ways, but it’s actually been going really well. We have a lot of talent.”

Coster was at Aotearoa Marae in Okaiawa today to mark the expansion into Taranaki of Te Pae Oranga - a programme that aims to keep low-level offenders out of the courts.

There is no use of police photos for facial recognition unless it is someone who is an unidentified suspect for an offence. So, that technology is used for identifying suspects of offences, it is not used randomly on young people.
