today's headlines:

  • Deere will announce first quarter earnings today,
  • Governor Bruce Rauner proposes a major tax cut, 
  • and early retirements will help Bettendorf save money in next year's budget.

It should be cloudy today with areas of fog and a chance for rain. The high should be around 43. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
