Honored to attend the ribbon cutting for the Joint Operations and Mission Planning Center today at Scott Air Force Base! It was great to hear about all the collaboration that made this a reality, and to hear all the important work that will happen here to ensure our country is safe.

Our thanks and appreciation go out to Senator Dick Durbin for his unwavering support of all things Illinois and St. Clair County. This photograph in particular from 10 years ago (April 22, 2016) shows his availability and willingness to listen and help deliver bipartisan support for issues that benefit his constituents.

I enjoyed attending the Annual Meeting of the Southwestern Illinois Metropolitan & Regional Planning Commission this morning. I was with our County EMA Director Herb Simmons who is also the Mayor of East Carondelet, County Economic Development (and Grants) Director Rick Stubblefield, and County Highway Superintendent Norm Etling. Herb is also the Commission President. Brent Donovan from the Kaskaskia Regional Port District was the main speaker. The Port District has a lot going on.
