Good morning, Joliet.

Illinois State Police distributed over $1 million in enforcement grants to 21 police departments, including Joliet's, to help track revoked FOID cards—ensuring that only eligible gun owners hold guns.

Dr. Susan Buchanan from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health said lead paint in old houses is the main cause of harmful lead exposure in children—water is not a major factor as kids would have to drink an extreme amount to be affected.

New state policy adds 180 ZIP codes for lead testing to help keep children safe.
