Permit deadline nears for landfill expansion plans
Republic Services plans to divert waste while constructing a 5 to 10 acre cell, a 60 day build, then IEPA review of 90 days before dumping resumes. The expansion from 113 to 256 acres extends capacity by 15 to 20 years, funding local programs via a $1.27 per ton levy and a 30 cent per ton county fee. County officials warn of possible impacts on revenue and jobs, with readiness to proceed despite concerns.

DUI enforcement challenged by resource limits and DUI case load
Deputy Max Snyder notes enforcement depends on officer availability and rapid reporting from drivers. Witnesses can aid dispatchers in tracing suspect vehicles, but stops require probable cause and DUI procedures. Field tests, breathalyzers, and high visibility campaigns aim to curb drunk driving, while attorney John McDermott cites growing DUI focus and persistent crack spread. The piece also reflects on a fatal Tuesday wreck involving the Crow family, with neighbors and relatives expressing shock and sympathy as police continue investigation.
