Rep. Harry Benton has resigned and withdrawn from the ballot following an ethics investigation, marking a significant political development for the area. It's a pleasant day in Benton with mostly clear skies and temperatures hovering around 75°F, perfect for any Independence Day weekend activities you might have planned. The Rend Lake area is gearing up for the holiday with science programs and eagle ambassadors, while the Williamson County Sheriff's Department is preparing for the busy Fourth of July weekend ahead.
