Today I am joined by Shaw Media reporter Payton Felix, who covers news for the Sauk Valley.
Felix and I discuss an upcoming vote for the Coloma Township Board that will determine revenue generated by a 43% property tax increase approved at the end of 2025 will be allocated.
Much of the discussion at a meeting in May suggested that some of the funds are expected to be used for repairs to the township building.
We also revisited a story we covered earlier this year involving a local animal rights organization that is continuing its efforts to end the practice of steer-tailing rodeos.
Against that backdrop, one of the members of the organization is facing legal challenges stemming from an incident in which the individual allegedly made false claims of a shooting incident at one of the steer-tailing events.
Felix and I ended our conversation on a lighter note as she discussed a new pedestrian bridge over the Rock River in Dixon and its newly announced name.
For the name of the bridge and more details on these stories, listen to the full conversation with Shaw Media reporter Payton Felix at the link above.
