Construction expected to impact polling location in Peoria
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Ongoing construction is expected to impact a polling place at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1420 W. Moss Ave.
The Moss Avenue Reconstruction Project is expected to impact voters' access to a polling location at the church, Executive Director of the Peoria County Election Commission Elizabeth Gannon said.
To access the church, voters are encouraged to turn onto North Institute Place from West Bradley Avenue. North Institute Place crosses Moss Avenue and will let voters reach the polling place.
The city is expected to put up signs to help direct voters to the church.
The election will be held on April 1.

Grove City ‘No Kings' protest promises peace
GROVE CITY, Pa. (WKBN) – Grove City's Memorial Park will be home to one of three rallies Saturday in Mercer County that organizers insist will be peaceful. 'We do not intend to break the law. It's very peaceful, very chill and upbeat rallies,' said rally organizer Katherine Bailey. Bailey is a retired professor. She says the events are part of the nationwide 'No Kings' day of action. Nearly 160 people have registered for the event in Grove City Saturday morning, and hundreds more are expected to attend what Bailey calls 'sister rallies' outside the County Courthouse in Mercer and at the corner of Route 18 and East State Street in Hermitage in the afternoon. Saturday's rally is actually the third of these events the group in Grove City has been holding and hopes to hold each month. Bailey stresses the local rallies are not affiliated with the riots that have taken place all week in Los Angeles and other big cities. 'We are not civil disobedience. We are peaceful protesters and staying within our rights and not doing anything illegal whatsoever,' she said. Although some have expressed concerns, the police chiefs in all three communities say they are not worried. 'There are some teachers, some retired people, a lot of women, I think. I think there were 112 signed up as of yesterday,' said Mercer Police Chief Robert Davis. If anything, police may be more concerned about potential outsiders trying to disturb the events. The police chief in Hermitage wrote, 'We ask that passersby and motorists respect this just as they would their own right to do the same.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Missouri lawmakers gather community input on legislative session
CARTHAGE, Mo. — The Missouri legislative session is over, and lawmakers are taking the opportunity to get feedback from those they represent. Friday morning at Carthage's Steadley Library, Missouri State Senator Jill Carter and State Representative Cathy Jo Loy met with their constituency. Representative Loy says the idea was to tell the good, the bad and the ugly of work done this year in Jefferson City. Lawmakers returned to the capitol last week for a special session, addressing issues that didn't cross the finish line during the regular session. Carthage marks 25 years of volunteering with Day of Caring Carthage library kicks off summer reading challenge Vision Carthage's 'Dumpster Day' succeeds with community help Couple accused of stealing 1/4 of a million from elderly woman to face trial Brandon Weaver and Dr. Grant Williams receive Carthage alumni awards Senator Carter tells us meetings like this are important to help explain how the process works and get an idea of what still needs to be done. 'Because there's so much that goes on in the background that people have no idea, and it provides an opportunity for us to explain our positions, and to be corrected, if needed. Once I'm able to share the nuances and the realities of some of what goes on in the background, and then present why I voted the way that I did – I'm looking for feedback from my people that I'm on the right path,' said Sen. Carter. 'I'm not going to know what to do for them unless I hear from them, so it's good to have the questions that they asked, to be able to understand what their needs are, and so that was really important for me to hear today, at the end of the session. We did this at the beginning, so now at the end,' said Rep. Loy. Senator Carter says anyone with questions or comments is welcome to contact her through a text service set up specifically for that purpose. She can be reached at 417-216-6077.
