Carlo Leone dedicated two decades of his life as a Peoria City Councilman, a staunch supporter of his constituents living in the Pine District.
Mr. Leone tendered his resignation due to health issues, April 16.
He was too ill to attend his last council meeting and Mayor Cathy Carlat made the announcemen of his retirement, reading from a statement written by Mr. Leone, “It is out of the greatest respect for my constituents and my unwavering support for the city that I have chosen to step aside. This job is too important to give anything less than 100% and unfortunately, I am no longer able to give that at this time.”
