AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 minutes ago

Public Health Warning: Illinois is telling anglers not to eat too much locally caught fish, updating county-by-county advisories for chemicals like mercury, PFAS (including PFOS), and PCBs—especially for people who fish often. Road Safety: A deadly early-morning Dan Ryan crash shut down lanes after a two-car wreck near 91st Street left one person dead and three others hospitalized. Sports Spotlight: Edwardsville’s Sophie Shapiro capped the IHSA state meet with four medals, including a state title in the 300 hurdles. Gas Prices Watch: Fuel costs remain jumpy heading into Memorial Day, with GasBuddy reporting the lowest E85 and diesel deals in parts of the region—while Illinois averages for diesel and other grades stay elevated. Local Legal/Community Notes: Montgomery County reported 13 lawyers with active licenses in April, and the week also included more community updates and events.
