Today's headlines:

  • unemployment in the QC in January fell to 4.7 per cent,
  • the top three democrats running for Illinois governor held their final debate,
  • and Henry County is asking voters again to approve a public safety sales tax.

It should be partly sunny today, but with a chance of rain in the afternoon (40%). High near 43. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
