This week, I am joined by Payton Felix, who covers stories around the Sauk Valley for Shaw Local.
Felix and I discussed a variety of stories in the region, beginning with a recent resolution of a Dixon man who threatened former Illinois House member and current Lee County official Tom Demmer.
Our conversation then turned towards legal proceedings stemming from the 2024 shooting at Lost Lake. One of the officers wounded in the standoff situation is now bringing legal action against the man who shot him.
Felix and I rounded out our chat by discussing Ogle County's recent decision not to renew a permit allowing the practice of the Mexican-style rodeo event known as steer tailing within county limits.
