AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Cubs Snap Skid: Ian Happ launched a 424-foot homer and five Chicago pitchers combined for a 2-0 shutout of the Braves, ending the Cubs’ four-game losing streak. Memorial Day Weather: The Old Farmer’s Almanac is pointing to warmer-than-average May across much of the U.S., with drier trends and only isolated storm chances heading into Memorial Day weekend. Travel Watch: Shannon Airport is bringing back key seasonal flights—United to Chicago O’Hare and Delta to New York–JFK—boosting summer transatlantic capacity. Health Update (Illinois): A suspected hantavirus case in Winnebago County turned out negative after CDC confirmatory testing, and officials say Illinois risk remains very low. Gas Reality Check: With Memorial Day travel ramping up, Illinois drivers are seeing higher prices than last year, and AAA says the national average is near a four-year high. Ebola Screening: The U.S. is tightening airport and port-of-entry screening for travelers linked to recent Ebola-affected countries, with risk to the general public still described as low.
