AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Disaster Aid: FEMA again denied Illinois’ request for help recovering from August storms in eight counties. Gov. JB Pritzker says the damage exceeds the state’s capacity to respond. Federal Funding: Attorney General Kwame Raoul is suing the Trump administration over its termination of funding for unemployment-system upgrades. County Budgets: Cook County is facing a $550 million shortfall; its proposed budget aims to close the gap without tax increases or layoffs. Election Watch: Gov. Pritzker is seeking a rare third term, while Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton has declined debates with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Don Tracy. State Courts: A judge temporarily blocked Illinois from applying its assisted-suicide law to Catholic health providers who object.
