Residents are still reeling from record-setting rain and storms that swept through the Chicago area and downstate more than a month ago. In response, Illinois congressional members have urged President Joe Biden to unlock funding to help people recover from flooding and damage incurred from storms across the state between June 29 and July 2. All 19 of the state's congressional members sent a letter to the president Monday on behalf of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who issued his own disaster proclamation last month for Cook County and seven downstate counties.
