Got a question for Tom? Ask it here
Happy new year, and congratulations upon surviving 2015.
As dismal a year as it was for the state of Illinois (see first question) and the University of Illinois, personally it was a pretty good one: two new grandchildren (Elizabeth Rose and Duncan Keith), a brave daughter-in-law who absolutely scorched cancer’s butt (she put it a different way) and the Chicago Cubs’ unexpected return to success and the baseball postseason.
In Mailbagland, we addressed a lot of questions and had a little fun.
In this week’s bag: distracted driving citations, State Farm Center suites, the Northwestern game at Soldier Field, Rantoul schoolchildren at risk, UI campus bike paths, and a call to wake up Illinois.
