	How state funding is affecting Illinois college tuition State universities in Illinois are facing a growing problem. State funding has not kept up with rising costs, leading schools to raise tuition. That move is causing lagging enrollment. Students from low- and middle-income families are disproportionately affected, as are students of color. Legislation to help equalize funding is pending in the Illinois State Assembly. House Bill 1581 and Senate Bill 13 (Adequate and Equitable Public University Funding Act) call for establishing a funding structure like the Evidence-Based Funding formula for K-12 education. The legislation supported by nine of the 12 public universities, but not the three University of Illinois schools.

	Proposed Bettendorf police station gains momentum Bettendorf residents are voicing their opinions about a potential new police station. "The city has gone through a lot of population growth," said Jeff Reiter, Bettendorf's assistant city administrator. "One of the things we are seeing here more and more as we hire staff and personnel in public safety is a need for more contemporary police station." In April 2024, the city of Bettendorf sent out a survey to residents just to gauge their interest about a potential new police station, and so far the results show that nearly 60 percent of residents are in favor of a new police station. "The survey results came back very, very positive," Reiter said. The proposed police station would be nearly 28,000 square feet larger than the current police station, and would be located near the Bettendorf Public Works building on Devils Glen Road. "This will help with response times," Reiter said. "It's gonna help with a lot of our investigation work, it's going to help a lot with the processing of evidence. Just being able to dispatch officers all across our community in an expeditious manner." The project would cost $27 million over a 20-year bond referendum. "Some taxpayers may see a very minimal increase in taxes if they were to vote for this," Reiter said. "Realistically, it's a very practical and a very, very affordable economic option, in my opinion." In order for the bond referendum to be approved, 60 percent plus one of Bettendorf voters would need to vote in favor of the referendum. "We were hopeful to come in maybe at 50 percent, so seeing 59 percent right out of the gate was very exciting thing for us," Reiter said. The next step in the process is for city council to decide whether to put the bond on the November ballot. That decision is expected to take place at a city council meeting in July.
	2nd 90° day of year coming Wednesday? Believe it or not, we've only hit the lower 90s one time so far this year. That's a little below normal for early to mid June. But, we're about to sneak into the lower 90s again on Wednesday. Monday's high was near 70° and way below normal. Tuesday gets up to 80° and then we hit 90° on Wednesday. The only other time we've hit 90° this year is when it was 93° all the way back on May 15th! What do you think? Want more hot days or are you good with this? Let me know on my fb page here!

	Grant helps Moline Regional Community Foundation help nonprofits The Moline Regional Community Foundation (MRCF) has received a $500,000 grant appropriation, made possible through the Illinois Department of Human Services and appropriated from the state’s General Revenue Fund. The funding will support violence prevention, youth employment and operational expenses for nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the 72nd District. “These dollars are going directly to the boots-on-the-ground organizations that are doing the hard work in our neighborhoods every single day,” said State Representative Gregg Johnson (D-East Moline). “By providing flexible operational funding, we’re helping nonprofits stay focused on their mission, expand their reach and make our community better. At a time when federal programs are in jeopardy, I couldn’t be prouder to proactively take care of our own here in the Quad Cities.” MRCF will administer these funds through a competitive grant process that will ensure equity, transparency and alignment with community needs. Funding amounts will be based on the scope and impact of the proposed work. Priority will be given to projects that support underserved communities, youth opportunity and public safety. “This isn’t about state officials telling local leaders what they need—it’s about lifting up the work that’s already happening and giving our partners the resources to keep going,” Johnson said. “I’m proud to bring these funds home and even prouder of the organizations that will make every dollar count.” Nonprofits interested in applying should follow MRCF on social media and visit their website for updates while they start gathering their organizational documents, financial statements and project outlines.

	Artist chosen for new Bettendorf mural The Downtown Bettendorf Organization (DBO) has chosen an artist for its latest mural. Local artist William Gustafson will paint a new mural located on the west-facing wall at 312 17th Street, across from City Hall. The mural’s concept is called, “Titled Arches,” which will show time periods through the arches. Gustafson will paint the mural in June and an unveiling is planned for early July. “I created the mural to span time from the past industrial age: the Bettendorf brothers revolutionizing the train wheel, the innovative Velie Monocoup, the steel industry, old steamboats on the river and two life-sized industry workers,” said Gustafson. “The center arch includes the current Waterfront Convention Center and Isle Casino, to the Celebration Belle, to a one-wheel rider and young girl life size in the foreground, and a jet streaming across the sky to hold the viewers eye into the future, with the new I-74 bridge spanning the present day to lead you into the future with a solar car and personal drone flying in above. An eagle holds the viewer’s eye life-size as the shadow from early morning light cast across all time.” (Quad Cities Chamber) “On behalf of the Downtown Bettendorf Organization’s board of directors and the property owner, we are excited to select William Gustafson for this mural,” said Ryan Jantzi, Executive Director, DBO. “It will be a highly visible location welcoming people into Downtown Bettendorf,” "Seeing our communities invest in public art makes us excited for the future of the Quad Cities,” said Ben Gougeon, Quad City Arts’ Director of Community Engagement. “When organizations like the Downtown Bettendorf Organization lead the way in promoting public placemaking initiatives, it helps lift not only Downtown Bettendorf, but all Quad Citizens. Study after study shows the effect public art has on an area's livability, both in terms of the enhancement of quality of life and the economic impact on a region.” “We're thrilled the selection committee chose to feature Bill Gustafson, a local artist with a long history of signature pieces in the Quad Cities. His work is part of the fabric of the area and will continue to inspire into the future his mural so hopefully depicts,” said Gougeon.

The criminal complaint said on June 8, the defendant, identified as Matthew Karr, 33, was driving an older model pick-up truck with dual rear wheels on June 8.

Matthew Karr (Scott County Jail) The officer turned off his lights and sirens as the driver continued East on River Drive and tried to follow the vehicle from a distance. Kerr continued to accelerate out of sight at about 1 a.m. Officers found the same vehicle in an alley near the area of Hayes Elementary School, Boise Avenue and S. Concord Street in Davenport at 1:08 a.m. The vehicle fled east on Boise Avenue, driving reckless through a residential area this time. The vehicle went through an intersection at high speed, causing it to appear to briefly go airborne over a hump in the road.

	Eggs in Illinois, other states recalled amid salmonella outbreak (NEXSTAR) — Millions of eggs sold at Walmart stores and other grocers across nine states have been recalled amid a salmonella outbreak that has sickened dozens. August Egg Company of Hilmar, California, has recalled 1.7 cartons of brown cage free and brown certified organic eggs due to potential salmonella contamination, the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday. The FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and local health officials have linked the eggs, sold under multiple brand names, to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 79 people across seven states. Of those, 21 required hospitalization, the CDC reports. What eggs have been recalled? The eggs were distributed to retailers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, and Wyoming between early February and early to mid-May of this year. Impacted eggs sold at Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs locations have sell by dates between March 4, 2025, to June 4, 2025, within California and Nevada, according to the FDA. Eggs distributed to Walmart locations in all nine states have sell by dates from March 4, 2025, to June 19, 2025. The FDA notice notes all recalled eggs will have a plant code of P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126 printed on the carton or package, which will be either fiber or plastic.

"It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens," August Egg Company said in a statement. "August Egg Company’s internal food safety team also is conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring. We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again." Salmonella outbreak sickens dozens Nearly 80 confirmed cases of salmonella have been linked to the recalled eggs, the CDC reports, though the true number of those impacted may be larger. Some who become sick after a salmonella infection do not require medical treatment, which means they may never be tested and their case may never be reported. Illnesses were reported between late February and mid-May, with patients ranging in age from 1 year old to 90. Thirty people were interviewed, and 27 reported eating eggs before becoming sick. Most of the cases, totaling 63 as of Sunday, were reported in California. Nevada and Washington have each confirmed four cases linked to the recalled eggs, while Arizona has reported three cases. Nebraska and New Jersey have each recorded two, while one case was reported in Kentucky. What is salmonella? It’s caused by the salmonella bacteria, which the CDC estimates cause 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the U.S. yearly. Salmonella infections are commonly associated with diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. Symptoms can begin between six hours and six days after you’ve ingested the bacteria. Most people are able to recover without receiving treatment within four to seven days. Illnesses may be more severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Some may require medical treatment or hospitalization, the CDC explains. Infections can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test of a person’s stool, body tissue, or fluids.
