Last update: 8 minutes ago

Glyphosate Ban Cost: A University of Illinois weed-science professor says a glyphosate ban could cost Illinois farmers up to $600 million a year, with knock-on effects for weed control complexity, land values, and tax revenue. AI Data Centers & Bills: President Trump is expanding a voluntary pledge with governors and utilities to prevent data centers from driving up consumer utility bills, but critics note rising power demand could still raise costs. Illinois AI Oversight: Illinois passed a new Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act targeting “frontier” AI developers with transparency reports, audits, and a required safety framework. Wildfire Smoke & Health: Illinois climatologist Trent Ford explains how Canadian wildfire smoke has repeatedly pushed into the Midwest, with air quality impacts tied to shifting winds and conditions near the surface. Nonpoint Source Pollution Funding: Illinois EPA announced $5 million for watershed projects under the Section 319(h) program to cut runoff pollution in priority areas. Beluga Rescue in Chicago: Four beluga whales were flown to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago as part of a broader relocation effort after Marineland’s closure. Bed Bugs in Illinois: Orkin’s national list flags Chicago and Springfield among top bed-bug treatment metros, underscoring the need for strong inspections and resident education.
