(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former journalist turned State Senator is trying to ensure that small towns have proper news coverage. State Senator Steve Stadelman of Rockford has introduced Senate Bill 3457, the Local Journalism Task Force Act, that has been referred to the Senate Commerce and Economic Development Committee. The act creates a task force that would conduct a comprehensive study relative to communities under served by local journalism in the state. It would review all aspects of local journalism including the adequacy of press coverage of communities, the ratio of residents to media outlets, the history of local news in the state, print and digital business models for media outlets, the impact social media has on local news, and explore public policy to improve the sustainability of local journalism through either private or nonprofit solutions.)

CAPITOL FAX
— DuPage GOP election judge shortage almost doubles in a week
https://capitolfax.com/2020/03/09/dupage-gop-election-judge-shortage-almost-doubles-in-a-week/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Will County early voting sites and Election Day polling places are being stocked with hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to protect election judges and voters as the number of reported coronavirus cases in the state continues to increase. […] DuPage County continues to face a critical shortage of Republican election judges. Last week officials said they were short 160 Republican election judges; that number has since grown to 300, said Adam Johnson, chief deputy county clerk. “We have lost additional judges,” Johnson said. Will County claims they aren’t having the same problems, but this is definitely something to watch as election day nears. Election judges are often retirees. And older people are in more danger if they catch this virus. I have never voted by mail, but this could be the first time for me. It’s not that I’m frightened to go out or anything, but it will take some stress off the system if more people vote absentee.)
