The Department of Natural Resources has been hosting townhall events across northern Illinois to hear from residents in areas impacted by Chronic Wasting Disease, a fatal neurological illness that affects deer. CWD has impacted the 89th District and after hearing from constituents and their concerns about DNR’s policies to address CWD, Leader McCombie encouraged more input from area residents and hunters—as well as state agency leaders. There will be additional townhalls coming up, which can be found on DNR’s website.
Leader McCombie loved being a Principal for the Day at Kings School! She visited a number of classes, read to students, talked about her role in the state legislature, and even had time to give the morning announcements! Principal for the Day was a program started by the Illinois Principals Association to get lawmakers into schools, and House Minority Leader Tony McCombie has enjoyed taking part–and meeting all the administrative professionals, educators, and students along the way!
