Surrounded by acres of maple trees along historic Route 66, Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup has been producing pure Illinois maple syrup for more than 130 years.

From pure maple syrup to locally made pancake mixes and fruit products, Funks Grove offers a truly unique taste of Central Illinois.

It would also seek to improve the city’s ability to hold bad landlords accountable and increase housing stability for tenants.
“For too long, Chicago has lagged behind other cities. Past administrations have kept organizers at arm’s length while declining to implement critical protections that have yielded results across the country,” Johnson said at a Monday morning press conference in Daley Plaza announcing the introduction of the legislation. “Needless to say, relief is long overdue.”
