Cosentino visits Ohio as growth funds flow in
Jerry Cosentino arrives in the Bureau County village of Ohio bearing a $100,000 state funding pledge funneled through Citizens First State Bank of More on Ohio to back a linked loan program. The plan guarantees up to $1 million in state support at 7.5 percent, enabling loans to locals for homes and new businesses at up to 10 percent. Cosentino praises the Illinois Growth Foundation and envisions population growth and future grants, noting Reagan's end of term as context and pledging more funds if Ohio succeeds. He tours the Ohio School system, meets officials, and is greeted by signs and a Bulldogs welcome.

EPA begins clean up at Byron salvage yard
The EPA has started dredging an oily layer in the water table at the Byron Salvage Yard with an electronic skimmer. Project Manager Bill Bolen says up to 500 gallons may be pumped this spring and summer as 95 percent hydrocarbons and five percent TCE and DCE contaminate wells nearby. Cleanup could take six more months, with a feasibility study due next month and a public meeting planned after.
