Superintendent Chad Fingler provided an update to the Holy Family board at their monthly meeting, which was held virtually on Wednesday evening. “We know that education has a vast amount of information, both private and personal,” he said, noting that schools can become primary targets of hackers who want to mine that data. He touched on phishing, which is a method of using fake emails to get people to click on and provide a portal for them to come in and look around the school’s system, as it were, or to plant a Trojan or ransomware as they lock the school’s system down for a ransom.
There is no primary in Winnebago County outside of Rockford.
Mayor Tom McNamara, who will sail unopposed to a second term, is urging everyone to vote so they, he hopes, support the road referendum.
McNamara said the infrastructure sales tax allowed the city to save money, do more work, reduce property tax rates, retire road debt and improve the condition of roads and bridges citywide while leveraging millions in state and federal transportation dollars for significant projects. The most important item on the ballot is the renewal of the road referendum, McNamara said. This is critical for our city.
There have been four municipal primaries since 2001. Turnout for those primaries ranged from 3,530 voters, or 4% of registered voters, in 2009 to 7,092 voters or 8% in 2005.

After months of back-and-forth between Democrats and Republicans, Congress has finally passed a second Covid-19 relief package totaling more than $2.3 billion. That will go to $600 stimulus payments to most Americans, including children, as soon as next week, as well as supplemental unemployment benefits, and aid for small businesses. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the relief package, while President-elect Joe Biden took to Twitter: “I applaud the relief package, but our work is far from over.” Biden also said Congress will need to start on additional support measures in the new year as many of the aid provisions in the stimulus package expire in the first quarter of next year.
