A proposed plan to turn a home in Arcola into a youth treatment center is raising concerns among some neighbors who worry about property values and safety, while city leaders say their authority to block the project is limited under state and federal law.

In an era when online anger and social tensions are increasingly directed at the businesses consumers count on, Meta last year spent $24.4 million to surround CEO Mark Zuckerberg with security.

Dr. Veeda Williams, an Arcola native, educator, and veteran won the election, 106-91.

In this Arcola City Council race, candidate Chris De Los Santos alleges that the Mayor has threatened him.

At the center of the controversy, the Mayor, Fred Burton, has leveled an allegation that one city council member, Ebony Sanco, does not live within the city limits.
