State Farm sued

The state of Illinois is suing Illinois-based State Farm insurance, alleging the company refused to comply with a regulatory examination of its nationwide homeowners insurance business.

Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced the action Tuesday, saying the Illinois Department of Insurance opened an investigation into the company’s policies and premiums.

Ag education grants announced

Over $668,000 is being granted to 80 agriculture literacy coalitions across 89 Illinois counties.

The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program gives teachers resources to help students connect to agriculture.

The funds come from individuals and the IAA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Illinois Farm Bureau.

‘Operation Summer Heat’ results

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Chicago office has announced the results of Operation Summer Heat.

The FBI joined forces with local law enforcement partners and reported 166 arrests, 92 drug seizures, 34 firearm seizures and eleven children identified or located.
