The Illinois State Police overcharged on gun permits, well in excess of what state law permitted. Now, they're having to pay out.

Updated Illinois Sport Fish Consumption Advisory (ICYMI)

Illinois River no longer under “Do Not Eat” fish advisory

Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced an updated consumption advisory for sport fish caught in Illinois waters, including Lake Michigan. These changes are the result of continued sampling by the Fish Contaminant Monitoring Program (FCMP).

Fish consumption advisories are based primarily on protecting sensitive populations, including women of childbearing age, pregnant women, fetuses, nursing mothers, and children younger than 15 years of age. While there is no known immediate health hazard from eating contaminated fish from any Illinois water body, there are concerns about the effects of long-term, low-level exposure to chlordane, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and methylmercury in fish.
