Primary offers challenge for sitting state's attorney

URBANA – Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz, who handily defeated a 10-year incumbent in 2004, is facing a different contest this year: one from within her own party.

The 39-year-old Democrat is being challenged for her party's nomination by Alfred D. Ivy III, 36, an Urbana attorney with four degrees but fewer years of legal work experience.
