Unfair Remap Could Pit Cerwinski Against O'Brien
Illinois lawmakers approve a new reapportionment map transforming South Suburban districts. The plan pits incumbents Derwinski and O'Brien in the same district and opens Russo’s Third District to a potential Chicago-Democrat challenge. It creates two Republican incumbents clashing and shifts areas like Thornton and Bremen Townships into new baselines, promising crowded primaries and party controversy.

Eighth Project Share drive under way in area
The eighth annual Project Share drives to assist needy south suburban residents began today. Star Publications will lead the effort with a $10,000 cash goal to buy food and toys for families aided by Jones Memorial and Harvey Community Service centers, Salvation Army, East Chicago Heights, Respond Now, and Hope Community Services.
