The Emergency Telephone System Board in McLean County wants to update its unified emergency responder radio system. It will be expensive. The current Starcom system was developed in the years following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Interagency difficulty in communicating during and immediately after that tragedy highlighted a need across the U.S. for a common platform. As implemented in McLean County, though, there have been gaps and dead zones in which radio reception either didn’t work at all or faded inside buildings.

Politicians and newsmakers don’t always love it when journalists ask them tough, probing questions or point out the contradictions in their position on an issue. But Charlie Schlenker did it in a way that you just couldn’t help but respect. Schlenker will retire Sept. 30 after 42 years in journalism, including the last 29 here at WGLT.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker delivered one of the most high-profile political speeches of his life two years ago at Chicago’s Democratic National Convention. But two years later, Pritzker, 61, said he’s astounded to see photographs and video of that moment. Pritzker is for the first time revealing publicly that he’s lost 80 pounds with the help of a GLP-1 weight loss medication, with plans to lose more. The governor laid bare his previously undisclosed medical history in an hour-long interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, admitting the “food noise” is gone, with daily exercise and the injections fueling weight loss he didn’t think was possible.
