Trixie Eviction Delayed for No Pet Policy in County Housing
Randolph County Housing Authority delayed formal action on a no-pet rule affecting pets like Trixie, a seven year old Pekingese owned by Wayne Bowers in Keeneman Acres. A September meeting upheld the policy while a legal opinion was sought, and a letter to Bowers ordered removal or eviction. Residents have complied by removing some pets, and Bowers may pursue a grievance hearing under the lease.

SIU C cuts budget with 450000 in effects at SIUC
