Instead of campaigning, a group of politicians in Rock Island is trying to get some work done. Tonight, aldermen will hear about whether the city should help Arsenal Island privatize its utilities. And the council may buy road salt for this winter.

Michelle O'Neill reports the military is considering the privatization of utilities at bases all over the country.

Officially, Michelle's title for 28 years was WVIK News Editor. She did everything there is to do in the newsroom and whatever was needed around the radio station. She also served as Acting News Director from September 2023 - January 2024.
