ReplyHi Paulette,
When there is any DUI roadside safety checks, police are required to send notification out to residents to make them aware of it. That is whether or not it is funded by the state, as the holiday enforcement campaigns are.

ReplyHi Johnson H.,
Reboot Illinois is one of our many (and growing) Local Voice contributors. Anyone is able to post in Local Voices as often as they would like. So, the answer is no, Patch has not been purchased by Reboot Illinois!
