— A dozen hikers busted while police escort Governor Rauner through Starved Rock Despite a busy holiday weekend, there were no falls to report at Starved Rock State Park. Conservation Police Sgt. Phil Wire says they did hand out 27 tickets counting Saturday and Sunday at the park. Four of them were for having small amounts of pot while the rest of the tickets were either for alcohol or being caught off the trails. Governor Bruce Rauner and his wife hiked about five miles at Starved Rock Saturday according to Wire. While walking with the governor, police nabbed a dozen other hikers for being off the trails.

— ‘Lecherous and worthless’: Megachurch pastor from Trump’s own evangelical council denounces him – Sarah Pulliam Bailey
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/10/10/misogynistic-trash-megachurch-pastor-from-trumps-own-evangelical-council-denounces-him/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A member of Donald Trump’s evangelical council wrote a sharply worded email calling the Republican presidential candidate’s lewd comments made in a 2005 video “misogynistic trash that reveals a man to be lecherous and worthless,” saying he is no longer willing to offer more of his time without a “change of heart and direction.” On Monday, Ed Stetzer, executive director of Wheaton College’s Billy Graham Center for Evangelism, published an email on his blog from a Chicago-area megachurch pastor who is on Trump’s council. (Stetzer does not serve on the council.) James MacDonald, pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, a nondenominational evangelical church in Rolling Meadows, Ill., wrote the email to several members of Trump’s faith council, his campaign liaison and to some who oppose Trump’s candidacy.)
