Day care cuts risk meals for Illinois children
Local day care providers warn proposed federal cuts of 400 million dollars to child nutrition programs would reduce breakfast lunch and snacks payments to providers. In Illinois 3000 providers and 300000 children nationwide could be affected with some offering to raise fees or cut services. Illinois Quality Child Care Inc director Joan Vogel warns paperwork and eligibility requirements could push many providers out of the program or underground, reducing monitoring and food safety inspections.

Carbondale Council Seeks Rental Funds For Housing Rehab
Carbondale City Council will weigh applying for an additional 1985 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to augment last year’s 80 thousand dollar rental rehabilitation program. The 80k first tranche could fund 16 to 20 apartments, with potential multiplier effects from loan repayments. The council also considers a 15k, one year services contract with the Humane Society of Southern Illinois for stray animal sheltering and disposal, and defers a rezoning request from Jim Pearl Inc. to a future meeting.
