St. Baldrick’s: A true pot of gold

Measure gives spending authority to governor

SPRINGFIELD — Students and workers relying on public transportation and employment training are one step closer to having their needs met, thanks to legislation that passed out of the Senate last week. The measure would give spending authority to the governor to allow him to honor his contract commitment to Amtrak, while also including funds for higher education, some critical social service programs and other items and services not receiving funding from court orders or consent decrees. “Thousands of people across the 4th Senate District rely on Amtrak for work, to see family and get groceries,” Assistant Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D – Maywood). “Through this legislation, we are keeping transportation, adult and higher education, job training, prostate screenings, local tourism and libraries up and running for the people of this state – all of which are deserving of more than what they are currently receiving.”

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation held its annual charity fundraiser at the Elks Lodge #1531 on Sunday, March 20, where brave volunteers had their heads shaved to raise money for cancer research.
