Developing the Economy
Last summer,
east central Illinois lost out to Greensburg, Indiana in a
bidding war over Honda's new auto assembly plant.
Vermilion County came up short in its bid for the facility,
leaving some to question Illinois' economic climate.
The ability to change it has become a campaign issues this

Society is still
trying to figure out what place the Internet has in our
political life. In eastern Illinois, candidates and
political watchers are taking to weblogs, either to get
their messages out or to hear what like-minded or

blogs percolating out into the general public? And do they
add to the political discourse or lower it? AM 580’s Tom
Rogers takes a look.

turning a cold shoulder to politics. AM 580's Michael
Koliska talked to some of those voters and asked why
cynicism is so high.
