Carbondale Considers Cannabis Ordinance and Community Action Initiatives
Interim police Chief Odum says field tests on suspected cannabis show enough accuracy to avoid lab testing for some cases. City attorney Nelson cites about 100 cannabis arrests last year that could move to city court, with fines from 110 to 1,500 dollars and potential jail time. City court options include bypass trial by fines and community service, while city ordinance violations would not create state records. The council also reviews the Bikeway Network Plan with public comments due March 17 and a vote scheduled March 23. March is Athletic Training Month and Carbondale Conversations for Community Action days are set for March 28 to May 1 with Study Circles urged.

Malpractice costs push Illinois doctors from state

SIU School of Medicine graduates face uncertain gains, while ISMIE offers limited relief and discounts for new doctors. Despite fear around lawsuits, some interns pursue training and patient care in the state.
