Each Friday, we end the week with a statewide news roundup. This week, we talk about the US military crash that claimed the life of a former Belleville resident. We learn why  Macomb is conducting a special census in Fall 2024, and why a factory known for making famous red solo cups is set to close in Urbana. Plus, how will affirmative action affect The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s admissions?
