CARTERVILLE — A state senator came to John A. Logan College's campus this week with a plain message for students: get involved. Sen. Fowler encouraged JALC students in civic engagement, the Southern Illinoisan reports.
Details of the senator's specific remarks weren't included in initial reporting. What's clear is the message: showing up matters, whether that's at the ballot box or the county board meeting. Whether Logan's students take the advice is the real story, and one this bureau will be watching come election season.
