Wake Up TriCounties Cheri Bustos

Congresswoman Cheri Bustos is back in the 17th District on Tuesday. Congresswoman Bustos is spending the morning in Rockford where she will be helping out Meals on Wheels and learning more about Adult Day Programs. These programs are part of what is called 'The Care Economy' volunteers, employees and service providers who aid those in need, the elderly, those with physical disabilities and children. Child care and Adult Day programs play an essential role in the health and wellbeing of individuals and families alike. This afternoon at 2:30 Congresswoman Bustos will be in Morrison for Walk On Main Street with the Morrison Chamber of Commerce. In this conversation with Regional Media's WZOE in Princeton and WKEI in Kewanee, Representative Bustos talked about what she hoped to learn from local business owners regarding the impact of the pandemic and the legislation created with the intention of aiding small businesses.
