CHATHAM — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) hosted a town hall meeting at Chatham Glenwood High School. More than 370 constituents attended the event to ask questions, hear about Budzinski’s work in Congress, and share stories of the local impacts of the Trump administration’s policies. “Tonight, I had the opportunity to hear directly from people across Illinois’ 13th district – and their voices are top of mind. Every day that I’m in Washington, I’m fighting for them – to make groceries more affordable, childcare more accessible and healthcare more reliable. These are the issues that keep people up at night, and I hope tonight’s town hall made it clear that I’m focused on delivering real solutions,” said Congresswoman Budzinski. “Many attendees expressed deep concern about the chaotic shake ups coming out of the White House that threaten the services they rely on. I will never stop standing

Did you know that nearly 30% of the waste thrown into household bins is organic material that could be composted? This staggering statistic highlights an often-overlooked opportunity to reduce landfill burden while enriching our gardens and communities. Starting a compost pile at home is more than just a method of waste disposal—it’s a practical, environmentally sound practice that delivers numerous benefits to individuals and the planet alike. Reducing Household Waste and Environmental Impact One of the most immediate benefits of home composting is the significant reduction in the volume of waste sent to landfills. Organic waste such as food scraps, vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings constitute a large portion of household garbage. When these materials end up in landfills, they decompose anaerobically (without oxygen), producing methane—a greenhouse gas over 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere. By diverting

April 17th marks a day filled with events that have significantly shaped the course of history across various continents and cultures. Traveling back in time, April 17, 1492, saw Christopher Columbus receive official royal approval from Spain’s Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, to embark on his historic voyage across the Atlantic. This authorization set the stage for Columbus’s expedition later that year, which would lead to the European discovery of the Americas. While celebrated as a milestone in global exploration, the consequences of this encounter were complex and far-reaching, reshaping the world's demographic, cultural, and political landscapes in ways that continue to be discussed and debated today. In the realm of science and technology, April 17, 1961, marked a significant yet tragic moment during the Cold War when the Bay of Pigs Invasion began. This was a failed military invasion of Cuba undertaken by a CIA-sponsored paramilitary group of Cuban
