Plan faces criticism for Jackson County hazmat center
County officials debated a regional hazardous materials center as a solution despite cost questions. Hogston stated the county spends $5,000 to $10,000 per collection and seeks a center to handle hundreds of yearly calls, with initial build cost estimated between 450000 and 700000 and annual operating costs from 50000 to 100000. The solid waste fund now holds 3200000, funds farmed by a landfill host fee of 50000, and officials argued about economic benefits versus taxpayer expense ahead of a county board meeting in Murphysboro.

State cop avoids charges after mushroom hunter shooting
Union County State's Attorney says Captain Scott Rice will not face criminal charges for the turkey hunting incident that injured two mushroom hunters with buckshot. The case is ruled an accident though Rice received two conservation citations for hunting without a permit and old legal buckshot pellets. Both victims, Matt Clutts and James Salinger, were treated at area hospitals after the 70 yard shot. A civil suit against Rice remains possible.

SIUC trustees approve a 9.91 percent rent increase for Evergreen Terrace but the final amount awaits HUD acceptance. The HUD overseen complex remains under federal ownership, with university housing noting the increase may not be finalized until August and that HUD often blocks higher rates.
