Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 3rd of June.
Good morning, Plainfield.
🏛️ Government
Legislation to rescue transit passed the Senate but failed in the House, leaving Metra, Pace and CTA facing possible 40% service cuts and reduced night and weekend schedules.
Lawmakers noted a $1.50 fee on online deliveries—sometimes called a pizza tax—was added at the last minute, and they will resume bipartisan talks this summer to address the budget shortfall.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and local officials celebrated Monday morning the groundbreaking of a nearly $1.5 billion project — a pipeline that will run over 60 miles from Durkin Park to deliver Lake Michigan water to communities including Joliet.
Joliet Utilities Director Allison Swisher said work on related projects will begin next year and the full system is expected to serve local faucets by 2030.
🏈 Sports
Lincoln-Way East girls soccer team has combined veteran leadership and young talent to reach the super sectional round—senior Ellie Fiegl, junior Camden Cosich, and freshman Adelyn Thomas have all contributed to the team’s strong win streak.
The team is set to face O’Fallon in the Class 3A Bloomington Supersectional at 6 p.m. today—bolstered by eight consecutive wins and a powerful offense and defense.
