Good morning, Joliet.

One of four U.S. soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania last week was Joliet native Sgt. Jose Duenez Jr. (25), who left behind a wife and son, and his armored vehicle (found submerged under 15 feet of water) was recovered from a muddy bog after a collapse on a lakeside bank.

On Sunday at 4:10 p.m., Joliet police said 29-year-old Robert Burnett allegedly punched a driver after accepting a ride and hijacked his Nissan Rogue that was later linked to a hit-and-run crash in Crest Hill before he was taken to Will County jail.

Illinois and several states have sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its secretary Robert F.

Kennedy Jr. over the termination of nearly $12 billion in public health grants that disrupted state programs like vaccine deliveries and lab testing — the lawsuit filed in Rhode Island seeks a temporary restraining order as it argues the cuts were unlawful since the funds were not tied to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.

Preliminary vote totals on Tuesday show that Maureen Broderick, a Joliet Junior College trustee from New Lenox (facing controversy over past harassment allegations and a disputed arrest that was later cleared), is likely to keep her seat on the board.

Votes also indicate that Nancy Garcia from Romeoville and Timothy Bradley from Coal City are expected to win seats as totals from Kankakee County remain unavailable.
