69-YEAR-OLD DONNA KELLEY WAS
LAST SEEN LAST WEEK IN FARMER
CITY. SEARCH GROUPS LOOKED FOR
HER OVER THE WEEKEND. OFFICERS
HAVEN'T RELEASED WHERE SHE WAS
FOUND OR HOW SHE DIED. AN
AUTOPSY IS PENDING .. AND
STATE POLICE ARE HELPING WITH
THE INVESTIGATION.
((JESSICA)) AN URBANA MAN DIED
AFTER A CRASH ON THE

MORNING ON I-74 BETWEEN
MANSFIELD AND FARMER CITY.

NUMBERS ACROSS THE STATE -- 39
MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED ...
BRINGING THE DEATH TOLL TO
MORE THAN 49 HUNDRED. THERE

((JESSICA)) A STATE
REPRESENTATIVE WANTS GOVERNOR
PRITZKER TO BE RECALLED FROM
OFFICE. EAST DUNDEE
REPRESENTATIVE -- ALLEN
SKILLICORN -- SAYS PEOPLE HAVE
REACHED THEIR BREAKING POINT
WITH THE STAY AT HOME ORDER
AND ISSUES WITH UNEMPLOYMENT.
HE FILED AN AFFADAVIT TODAY.
HE SAYS THE ISSUES WITH THE
STATE'S UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM
WAS THE LAST STRAW.
"THE GOVERNOR REALLY HAS NOT
COME CLEAN ON THIS. THE
GOVERNOR HAS NOT ADDRESSED
THIS. THIS IS HIS ONE JOB, HE
HAS ONE JOB AND IT'S TO FIX
THIS AND HE HAS BEEN TOTALLY
NEGLECTFUL ABOUT THIS. HE'S
GIVEN UP ON THE PEOPLE OF
ILLINOIS BY CALLING THEM NON-
ESSENTIAL. WELL SORRY
GOVERNOR. THEY'RE NOT
NON-ESSENTIAL, YOU ARE." IN
ORDER TO SEND THIS TO THE
STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS ..
SKILLICORN WOULD NEED THE
BACKING OF AT LEAST 20
REPRESENTATIVES WITH SUPPORT
FROM EACH PARTY.
((JESSICA)) URBANA CITY LEADERS
ASKED FOR FEEDBACK AS THEY
PREPARE FOR PHASE THREE ON
FRIDAY. RESTAURANTS, FOOD
TRUCKS AND BARS PLANNING TO
SET UP OUTDOOR SEATING HAD
UNTIL TODAY TO CONTACT THE
CITY ABOUT SPACE THEY NEEDED.
MORE THAN 20 RESTAURANTS
ANSWERED THE SURVEY. OWNERS
HAD TO LET THE CITY KNOW IF
THEY WANTED TO USE PRIVATE OR
PUBLIC PROPERTY, WHETHER
THAT'S A SIDEWALK OR PARKING
LOT. AT THIS POINT URBANA
DOESN'T PLAN TO CLOSE STREETS
.. THEY THINK THEY HAVE ENOUGH
SPACE.
3:50 "SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS
ALREADY HAD SIDEWALK CAFES, SO
THEY'RE USED TO THAT PROCESS,
ALTHOUGH THEY'VE HAD TO MAKE
ACCOMMODATIONS AND SPREAD OUT,
PROVIDE HAND SANITIZERS TO
FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES." TABLES
WILL BE LIMITED TO SIX PEOPLE
OR LESS AND WILL HAVE TO BE
FARTHER APART THAN NORMAL.
((JESSICA)) AND THE CITY OF
CHARLESTON IS ALSO ASKING
RESTAURANTS AND BARS TO SUBMIT
A PLAN IF THEY INTEND TO OPEN
THIS FRIDAY -- BUT ONLY IF
THEY HAVEN'T PROVIDED OUTDOOR
DINING BEFORE. THE PLAN MUST
INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR
BARRIERS -- TABLES -- AND
SPACING. THEY ALSO MUST
COORDINATE WITH THE COLES
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT --
AND COMPLY WITH ALL CONDITIONS
FROM THE CITY AND STATE.
((JESSICA)) ONE COMPANY HAS
ADVICE FOR BUSINESSES GETTING
READY TO OPEN. ILLINOIS
AMERICAN WATER IS REMINDING
THEM TO FLUSH THEIR PIPES TO
MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF THEIR
WATER. BUSINESSES SHOULD RUN
WATER THROUGH EACH OF THE
FIXTURES FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE
MINUTES .. AND ALL TOILETS
SHOULD BE FLUSHED TWICE.
KAREN COTTONÃSPOKESPERSON
FOR ILLINOIS AMERICAN WATER
"WE WANT TO MAKE SURE AS
THEY
THAT THEY LOOK TOWARDS THEIR
INTERNAL PLUMBING SYSTEM. SO
IF A BUSINESS OR FACILITY HAS
BEEN CLOSED FOR SOME TIME
THERE IS STAGNANT WATER IN
THAT SYSTEM. IF A BUILDING HAS
REMAINED DORMANT, IT
IMPORTANT TO FLUSH THAT OLD
WATER OUT AND BRING FRESH
WATER INTO THE SYSTEM" IF A
BUILDING HAS BEEN INACTIVE, IT
CAN CAUSE LEAD LEACHING OR
LEGIONELLA GROWTH IN THE
PIPES.
((JESSICA)) TYPICAL GRADUATION
CEREMONIES AREN'T ALLOWED
RIGHT NOW IN ILLINOIS. HOW
SOME SCHOOLS MADE COMMENCEMENT
HAPPEN ANYWAY. PLUS... ARE
STATE LAWMAKERS GETTING A
PAYRAISE THIS YEAR? WHY ONE
SIDE SAYS THE ANSWER IS NO.
AND LATER -- ONE PROFESSIONAL
SPORT HAS A PLAN TO GET BACK
TO COMPETING. WHAT CHANGES
FANS SHOULD EXPECT.
