AGP Executive Report

Last update: 27 minutes ago

Manteno Aftermath: Manteno’s board heard a six-year forensic audit that found no serious fraud, but raised questions about how $25 million from the Aqua Illinois sewage sale was handled and about $7.6 million in contracts tied to former mayor Tim Nugent’s family connections, plus the village’s golf course sale and a reverter clause buyout—bringing the mayor a “sigh of relief” and a push toward unity. Energy Bills: Ameren Illinois customers face higher summer electric supply rates starting June 1 (about 11 cents per kWh, up from 8.769), with Citizens Utility Board warning of the hit to already-stretched households. Public Safety: Kane County is launching a Memorial Day “Click It or Ticket” seat belt crackdown through May 26. Juvenile Justice: A bill expanding juvenile community mediation and restorative practices before sentencing cleared both chambers. Environment Watch: Armadillos are moving north, and Chicago could see them in 5–10 years as winters warm. Bears Stadium Drama: The Bears say they’ve exhausted Chicago options and are down to Arlington Heights or Hammond.
