概要

 In Illinois, recent severe weather dominated headlines with an early-season outbreak of tornadoes and large hail striking southeast regions on February 19, including confirmed touchdowns in Effingham and Crawford counties, where a mobile home was destroyed and an elderly woman seriously injured near New Hebron, according to the National Weather Service. State Rep. Sharon Chung introduced a compromise bill on insurance oversight, allowing the Department of Insurance to review homeowners rate changes amid rising premiums linked to extreme weather and storm chaser scams, as reported by WGLT, with support from State Farm and Country Financial. Governor JB Pritzker announced a $40.5 million expansion by DMG MORI in Chicago, creating 74 advanced manufacturing jobs and partnering with City Colleges for workforce training, per the Governor's office press release.

On the economic front, AbbVie committed $380 million to expand pharmaceutical manufacturing in North Chicago, bolstering the state's biotech sector, according to company news. Politically, Pritzker unveiled the BUILD housing plan to boost affordability, prompting the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus to call for a task force to protect local zoning authority. Senate Republican Leader John Curran proposed legislation to strengthen engineering education pipelines. Community efforts include summer construction at CCSD21 schools for toilet replacements and repairs, while debates rage over data centers straining the grid and consumer costs.

Looking Ahead, the spring legislative session promises action on insurance reform, housing zoning changes, and Pritzker's budget proposals, including a data center incentives moratorium.
