Illini Win: Illinois stopped Michigan State’s two-point try in overtime to escape with a 38-37 football victory. Food Access: The state’s Restaurant Meals Program has reached 50 participating restaurants in 16 counties, with plans to expand to all 102 counties. Disaster Aid: The Trump administration again denied Illinois’ request for federal assistance after summer storms. Farm Costs: Gov. J.B. Pritzker ordered state officials to allow dyed diesel for agricultural use on roads through Dec. 31, offering relief as fuel prices squeeze farmers. Education: Fewer than half of East Aurora District 131 students in grades 1-8 were on track in reading or math in preliminary tests. Regional Investment: Illinois is providing $15 million to expand SIUE’s National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center, supporting research, construction and jobs.
