This morning, I attended the Illinois Pork Producers Future Leaders Open House and had the opportunity to recognize two outstanding constituents from our district, Rosa Carolina Biddle and Heather Coers, for being named Illinois Pork Producer Future Leaders.

The Illinois Pork Producers Association's Future Leaders program plays an important role in developing young leaders who will help shape the future of Illinois agriculture, and I look forward to seeing all they accomplish.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources has made upgrades to its campsite and shelter reservation system, giving park visitors a more user-friendly way to book reservations at state parks and historic sites.

Beginning May 1, reservations for campsites and shelters will transition to an updated platform through: https://www.exploremoreil.com/

IDNR said existing reservations will automatically transfer to the new platform. Customers will need to use the same email address connected to their current reservation to access those bookings, and all users will need to create a new account and password once the updated system goes live.

A recent audit of the IDOC has revealed 40 ongoing failures, raising serious concerns about accountability and oversight within the agency.

The department improperly allowed employees to collect overtime while also receiving paid leave, contributing to $150 million in overtime costs.

Auditors also flagged the department for misusing emergency purchasing authority, including spending taxpayer dollars on routine items outside the normal bidding process.

The Legislative Audit Commission kept the audit open for further review, ensuring these issues continue to receive the attention they deserve.
