Latest COVID Relief Bill Is 'Shot in the Arm' For Local Government


The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed through Congress along party lines and signed into law by President Joe Biden last week is welcome assistance for many in Peoria-area local government.
In addition to $1,400 stimulus payments for many Americans and boosted unemployment benefits, the bill includes $7.5 billion for The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to combat the coronavirus.
The bill also includes $140 million in relief funding for Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties. For the City of Peoria, the one-time relief funds are welcome to blunt the blow of a painful budget readjustment cycle sparked by reduced revenues as the COVID-19 pandemic set in last spring.

Peoria area prosecutors pledge to apply law on COVID-19 violations


PEORIA — Local state's attorneys say they can't comment on "hypothetical cases" involving COVID-19 enforcement but agree they will "apply the law" as it fits.
Both Peoria County State's Attorney Jodi Hoos and her Tazewell County counterpart, Stewart Umholtz, say they take things on a case-by-case basis, and that they will act appropriately. Umholtz, whose office has received no complaints at all, said he will not comment on "hypotheticals."
Umholtz works in a county where the top lawman, Sheriff Jeff Lower, has repeatedly said he will not enforce the governor's executive orders as he doesn't feel they are rooted in law. But Umholtz said that's not a factor to him.
