Residents urge Ogle County to revoke Rochelle Rodeo permit, decry animal cruelty
Summary
Two public commenters urged the Ogle County Board to revoke a Special Use Permit for steer tailing at the Rochelle Rodeo and read statements opposing animal cruelty during the public comment period.
During the public comment period on April 15, two speakers addressed the Ogle County Board about the Rochelle Rodeo.
Jodie Wiederkehr spoke against the event and asked the board to revoke the Special Use Permit for steer tailing. Public commenter Katherine Kruse read a prepared statement objecting to animal cruelty.
Their remarks were recorded in the minutes but no board action or formal response is noted in the transcript. The public comment occurred after the consent agenda and before committee reports.
The board did not vote on or otherwise act on the requests during the meeting; the minutes list the comments and then proceed to committee reports and resolutions.
