When Will County Board member Steve Wilhelmi's son was first arrested for allegedly whipping a man with his belt, he only faced charges of misdemeanor battery and mob action. Then the mob action charge went away, and now he's charged with nothing. A special prosecutor called in to try Wilhelmi's 21-year-old son, Alex Wilhelmi of 1108 Taylor St., Joliet, dropped the case Thursday morning.

I cannot vote for someone who thinks marijuana somehow causes lung cancer. There are so many medical benefits to consuming marijuana. To somehow say marijuana is a "gateway" drug is simply ridiculous. Alcohol consumption is far worse than marijuana consumption. Marijuana is something that could really help patients that get chemotherapy. My vote is no.   more ›
