New Study Shows Perception of Police Vary Greatly, Depending on Skin Color
A new study by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, an organization centered on SIU's campus, says most Illinoisans are happy with local police. However, that number is less-positive when looking at non-white members of the community.
The new study found that 80% of white citizens in Illinois think their local police protection is excellent or good. That number falls to 51% among black citizens in Illinois.
The same split occurred when residents were asked to rate the local police department's response time. There, 76% of "White" residents ranked their police forces response time as "excellent." From there, the rate goes down, as only 66% of "Other races/ethnicities" responded with an "excellent" or "good" rating. The rating goes down from there, as only 53% of "Black" residents said the response time was positive. The report went on to reveal even more data about the split in opinion between the races.
One thing most residents did seem to agree upon was the use of military vehicles and weapons by police. In that study, across the races, 64% percent of residents said such equipment should only be for military use, not local police.
The full report is available online on the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute's website at http://bit.ly/1wuFBA9.

BREAKING: Honeywell in Metropolis Admits Radiation Leak
Today, the Honeywell Corporation in Metropolis, Illinois admits a small amount of gas was released from a building where Uranium Hexa-Fluoride was contained.
The leak occurred last month from the main production building on the west side of Metropolis. This news came after the company originally claimed there was no leak just a few weeks ago.
However, after an internal investigation, Honeywell discovered a small leak of the gas, also known as "UF-6"
"There remains no indications that harmful concentrations of UF-6 or Hydrogen Fluoride" left the Honeywell property or that there was any danger to the surrounding community as a result of the leak." Honeywell Corporation said in a statement today.
However, the Union that's been locked out of the plans for three months in a labor dispute says "It is unfortunate that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was not even going to investigate the event and simply take Honeywell's word..."

Missouri Ban on Same-Sex Marriage Ruled Unconsitutional
More couple in the "Show-Me-State" can now say "I Do" after a ruling passed Wednesday.
A Missouri judge ruled the Ban on Same-Sex marriage in the state unconstitutional. This is similar to what other judges have ruled in several other states.
As gay couples lines up for marriage licenses in St. Louis, mayor Francis Slay was happy with the change, saying it's about time.
"When you have two people who love each other and want to commit to each other through marriage, I can think of anything more beautiful." Slay said after the ruling was overturned. "And whetehr you're heterosexual of you're same-sex, it shouldn't matter. We're all people up on the law and we should all be treated equally."
St Louis is currently the only city in Missouri where gay marriage is legal. It could extend state-wide if the Missouri Supreme Court upholds the ruling.
#Election2014: Midnight Update
For the IL 12th Congressional District: Called for Mike Bost
With 72% of precincts reporting, Mike Bost (R) overwhelmingly beat incumbent Bill Enyart (D) in a 55% - 38% vote. Enyart leaves his seat after just two years in Washington.
For Illinois State Governor: Called for Bruce Rauner???
The question marks stand because even though polls are in with incumbent Pat Quinn (D) trailing behind newcomer Bruce Rauner (R) by 5%, and most major new organizations already calling the race, Quinn has promised not to give up until all votes are counted. Could be a long night for both parties.
For Illinois 115th Representative District: Called for Terri Bryant
Illinois 115th District will remain red as Terri Bryant (R) will take over Bost's old seat over opponent Bill Kilquist. (D) Bryant currently resides in Bost's hometown, Murphysboro.
In other Races:
In KY, Mitch McConnell (R) beats opponent Allison Lunderson-Grimes (R) to keep Senate seat. He is slated to become next Senate Majority Leader as Republicans take control of US Senate.
John Shimkus (R) overtakes opponent Eric Thorsland (D) in Illinois 15th Congressional Race.
Judy Baar Topinka (R) wins second term as Illinois Comptroller over Carbondale native Sheila Simon. (D)
Overall: Republicans have had a very successful November 4th.
