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