Love the Gov’s plan to upgrade Illinois prisons. BUT budget some money to clean-up the messes previous Govs have left behind. Dwight Correctional Center closed in 2013. 160 prime acres remains an abandoned disgrace. The state needs to clean up the messes it leaves behind.

Draft lottery day in the NHL. Hoping like crazy that the Hawks get lucky again and land Macklin Celebrini (still seems like a fake name) to go with Connor Bedard next year.

@-Love Livingston-
It could be long term leased to a private company for a solar farm with battery storage. The lease could require the energy company to clean up the sight and landscape the perimeter with trees.
