• 'Proud of our team': These establishments had no violations in March (pjstar.com) — Two Peoria Heights spots, Casa Agave on Prospect Road and The Daily Scoop ice cream shop next door, both earned perfect March health inspections from Peoria County. Their owners credit careful training and daily hands-on involvement for the spotless reports, standing out among 200 county inspections where only 24 establishments had zero violations. 
• Deciding where to live in Peoria could change your auto insurance rate (centralillinoisproud.com) — If you live in Peoria Heights, you’re likely paying about $50 more for auto liability insurance than drivers in Peoria, largely due to factors like ZIP code, credit score, and age. A new study is fueling a statewide debate as Illinois leaders push a bill to limit large rate hikes, while the insurance industry warns such regulation could actually raise premiums overall.
