Ethics complaint seeks governor action over Williams conflict
The group RACE urges the governor to review a two part complaint against Jay Williams alleging a conflict of interest after he received a 225,800 OHV Trails grant and later became IDNR southern coordinator for disabled outdoor opportunities. Williams’s sister still runs Williams Pass and has benefited from the grants totaling 406,100, while RACE also questions the grant bill’s setup and public notice. IDNR spokesman Tim Schweizer called for law enforcement if any violations are found.

Pinckneyville locks in price for natural gas
Pinckneyville officials locked in a fixed gas price last fall to shield residents from winter price spikes. The city set 8.59 per 1 000 cubic feet for the first 1 000 feet and 7.95 per 1 000 thereafter, a six month arrangement ending in March. City officials warn rates will revert to spot market afterward.
