It wasn’t that long ago that the police were needing lots of overtime and help from the state police to handle violent hot spots in the City. But now it looks like they’ve got nothing better to do than conduct sting operations on people smoking in bars. The Journal Star article says that [...] Hello! I’m coming to you live from Peoria City Hall, Council Chambers. I’ll be updating this post throughout the evening, so be sure to refresh your browser regularly to see the latest updates.

Ardis supported Darin LaHood in the last State’s Attorney election and had some critical things to say about Lyons during the campaign.
