Pet pic of the week

Glenn is a chill young guy who loves being around people and joining in on whatever you're doing. He can be a little nervous when left alone at first, but with some patience, a predictable routine and lots of love, he'll grow more confident every day. He's dog friendly, doing well with house training and has the occasional zoomie moment to keep things fun. For more information, stop by the Hinsdale Humane Society Tuthill Family Pet Rescue & Resource Center at 21 Salt Creek Lane, visit http://www.hinsdalehumanesociety.org or call (630) 323-5630.

NITA unveils first-ever regional transit budget

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority released the first-ever unified transit budget for the entire Chicagoland region on Nov. 2. As part of the NITA Act transit funding and governance overhaul, what was previously known as the Regional Transportation Authority has been gradually assuming more powers and responsibilities. Under the arrangement that was in place between 1983 and mid-2026, CTA, Metra and Pace had a largely free hand to plan their own budgets, and while RTA had to approve them, the tight statutory deadlines gave it little time to make changes. The new arrangement is more akin to how cities develop their budgets, with transit agencies functioning like departments — they submit their budget proposals that NITA then takes and uses to develop a single budget document.

Letter - Hospitals renew MA sales pitch while dropping popular plans

Medicare Open Enrollment runs from Oct. 15-Dec. 7. At this time especially, seniors are targeted with a ceaseless barrage of TV advertising for Medicare Advantage plans. These commercials are allowed to mislead and lie by omission, as I detail in my letters to The Hinsdalean of Nov. 7, 2023, and Oct. 17, 2024, easily accessed online.
