Rep. Mike Bost, currently serving as the U.S. Congressman for Illinois’ 12th district, recently shared his concerns and developments through a series of tweets on December 10, 2024. Bost has been in office since replacing Gerald Hawkins in 2015 and has a long history of public service in Illinois.
In one tweet posted on December 10, 2024, at 19:18 UTC, "As far as I’m concerned, those promises were broken. Like many Southern Illinoisans, I grew up on this lake; it’s been a vital part of our community for generations." Rep. Bost expressed his disappointment regarding unfulfilled promises that have impacted a local lake integral to the Southern Illinois community.
Continuing his efforts to address these issues, Rep. Bost stated on December 10, 2024, at 19:19 UTC that "Today I appealed to the director of FWS for answers and will be meeting with her and her staff in my office on Thursday." This indicates his proactive approach in seeking accountability from the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
Later that day at 21:35 UTC, Rep. Bost announced another significant development by tweeting "I'm honored to have been confirmed for another two-year term as Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs." This appointment underscores his continued leadership role within Congress.
