HABIB: Welcome back to Infoflow, Blazers. Today is Thursday, June 9th. I’m HABIB.

GABE: And I’m GABE. Today’s Pride Month fact is that in July 1961, Illinois became the first state to decriminalize homosexuality by repealing thier sodomy laws.

HABIB: The Montgomery County School Board decided that “now is not the time” to begin requiring students to take a financial literacy course as a graduation requirement. In a 5 to 3 vote, the board rejected SMOB Hana O’Looney’s proposal to require all high school students to take a half-credit financial literacy course. Instead, the board approved a plan that gives expanded access to optional financial literacy topics. In the vote, the board said they would review the idea again in the spring of 2023.

GABE: Montgomery County Police have suspended its first ever civilian police chief, Carmen Facciolo, although the reasons for doing so remain unclear. Facciolo was appointed by County Exec Marc Elrich in June 2021, however earlier this week Elrich released a department-wide email saying Facciolo had been stripped of his powers indefinitely.
