West Peoria Residents Association president David Pittman is faxing newsrooms around the area to let them know there’s a debate scheduled tonight between the candidates for state’s attorney. Here’s what it says:

Lyons/LaHood Debating
West Peoria City Hall
7-7:45pm
45 minute one on one debate.

The Journal Star has it up on their site now. They also add that “it was scheduled before the two verbally sparred over LaHood’s visit to an alleged rape victim’s home this week.”

This promises to be one of the more entertaining debates of the campaign season. I doubt either candidate will be pulling any punches (metaphorically, that is).

UPDATE: West Peoria City Hall, for those of you who don’t know (like me up until a minute ago), is located at 2506 W Rohmann Ave, West Peoria, IL 61604. Here’s a map.
