Philip opposes local pension prepayments while backing bill
Senate President James Philip says he opposes letting local officials start collecting pensions before retirement though he filed a bill to allow it, calling it a technical change. He later halted the measure after realizing its broader impact and stated it was a mischaracterized request. The Wood Dale Republican described the bill as a simple adjustment but stopped it in committee.

Frost May Help But Insect Kill Uncertain For Farmers
DECATUR The recent cold snap brings a brief winter freeze that could aid crop health but may not fully curb harmful insects. Experts differ with Mariman predicting adequate insect kill while Hawkins cautions farmers expect more insect problems due to a warm winter. Nitrogen activation concerns arise as soil temps peaked at 34 degrees. If conditions stay warm and dry, some farmers may plant corn by late March, earlier than typical mid April.
