After compiling questions for a week, I visited Chicago Heights Corporate Counsel and Bloom Township Supervisor T.J. Somer with a video camera in hand. T.J. answered questions from Patch users and fans of our Facebook page about his past as a policeman, his dual roles and even those red light cameras we all love so much.
