Despite her push to modernize the decade-old review system, council members, including Jeff Pemberton, blocked the discussion, sticking to the usual June evaluation format. Freed, who supports annual reviews, insists any changes need full council approval. The debate, ongoing since April, remains unresolved, with the next review set to follow the traditional format.

In St. Clair County, a federal judge has approved new ways for the Sheriff’s Office to reach a key witness in a lawsuit filed by former Lieutenant Scott Jones. Jones claims he was forced to resign after reporting a conversation about the sheriff’s brother’s DUI arrest.
