A key player in the city of Springfield’s economic development efforts is on leave after a recent arrest.
The Illinois Times reports that the city’s business projects manager, Ravi Doshi, has taken family leave after being arrested in late December on a misdemeanor charge of violating an order of protection taken out by his estranged wife.
The complaint alleges that Doshi improperly contacted her “by electronic means.”
Mayor Jim Langfelder says he expects Doshi will return to work later this month – but some aldermen are expressing frustration that they were not notified by the mayor about Doshi’s absence.
