Wabash and Ohio Rivers Coordinating Council meeting.

The Wabash and Ohio Rivers Coordinating Council, composed of a diverse group of citizens, not-for-profit organizations, and state and federal agencies. Through a public dialogue, the Council coordinates initiatives, projects and funding to promote the ecological health of the Wabash and Ohio River and its tributaries by addressing the issues in the watershed.

Established in 2010, the Wabash and Ohio Rivers Coordinating Council is modeled after the successful Illinois River Coordinating Council and charged with coordinating policies and programs that work with residents and communities to increase awareness of and address the environmental and economic issues of the Wabash and Ohio Rivers watersheds in this rural area of Illinois.

We are working with the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs to survey residents in the Wabash River basin.  Survey results will be used to develop a Wabash River Watershed Plan to guide the Wabash and Ohio Rivers Coordinating Council. If you live in Champaign, Clark, Clay, Coles, Crawford, Cumberland, Edgar, Edwards, Effingham, Ford, Hamilton, Jasper, Lawrence, Richland, Vermilion, Wabash, Wayne, or White County please take 10 minutes to complete this survey.

Do you live in the Wabash River Watershed region? Take a look at the watershed map.

Audio Statement................ Rep. Roger Eddy - responds to governor's budget address
     Law enforcement officials from across Illinois urged lawmakers in Springfield Wednesday (March 9, 2011) to invest in the state’s early childhood education programs in next year’s budget.  Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, a coalition of 300 Illinois law enforcement members, says high-quality early learning programs for at-risk kids will help cut crime and save the state millions of dollars by reducing the number of students who need special education services because of behavioral problems. 

It may seem odd for law enforcement representatives to be asking for money for education, but they say investing in education is the best way to fix the system from the ground up. 

The organization’s first priority is reversing last year’s 10 percent budget cut for preschool programs. The group wants funding for Preschool for All—a program signed into law by then-Gov. Blagojevich in 2006 that makes preschool available to all 3- and 4-year-old children—restored to the 2009 level of $380 million. Listen
