Should a $10 billion Canadian oil and gas delivery company get the right to take a private nature preserve from a retired Illinois railroad conductor? Larry Jones, an administrative law judge with the Illinois Commerce Commission, is set to begin hearings in Springfield on July 8 to settle that question.
Carlisle Kelly’s nature preserve isn’t large, only 205 acres, but the battle for control of piece of his property is seen as a test of how much Americans are being asked to give up to supply the world’s energy needs.

While the food supply situation has skated along a knife edge so far
this year, with higher prices and many countries experiencing food
riots, widespread famine did not take hold. In an incredible move, the Japanese quietly eased rice shortages
by releasing portions of their imported rice stockpiles—from giant

A town hall meeting to discuss and obtain broader input for a revision of the bill (to be revised in 90 days) is scheduled for Tuesday June 17 @ 6pm in the Cherokee Incubator (2715 Cherokee).  All residents, business owners, property owners, and interested parties are encouraged to attend

On the evening of Monday, May 19th, the newly formed River City Animal Defense League (ADL) and friends made our public debut. We took to the neighborhoods, and more specifically the houses of executives and contractors of Gohmann Asphalt and Construction, Inc. Gohmann Asphalt and Construction, Inc. is a disgusting company that has decided to proceed with business in the construction of Interstate-69 (I-69) which is the North American Free Trade Agreement's (NAFTA) superhighway.
