Danville is the latest central Illinois city to set local regulations for recreational cannabis.

The mayor of Danville lives near a Big Lots store, where a bus from East Peoria’s Par-A-Dice Casino regularly stops to pick up customers. Mayor Rickey Williams Junior says he hopes a casino planned for his eastern Illinois city will lead to other buses bringing out-of-towners to Danville instead.

After years of trying, the city of Danville now has the state’s permission to host a casino, thanks to Illinois’ new gambling expansion law. Jim Meadows talks with Danville Mayor Rickey Williams, Jr., about what's ahead.

Danville Mayor Rickey Williams Junior says one of his goals as he prepares to start a full term is to get new police and fire chiefs in place – replacing the position of public safety director.

More than 500 people gathered at Danville’s Temple Square Monday night, to remember Devon McClyde, the teen-ager who was shot and killed last week during a night-time basketball game.
