Bill is best known as the creating the controversial NoLaHood.com website, which ridiculed the actions of now retiring U.S. Congressman Ray LaHood of Peoria. Many politicians stood with him in denouncing LaHood for his comments on Peter Fitzgerald and other politicians; others chose to stand by LaHood.

In 2004, he ran for the local Library Board and again created controversy. The ballot listed three seats to vote on with one vacant. Bill ran a successful write-in campaign for the empty office. The city of Chicago claimed there were only two available seats on the board even though three appeared on the ballot and refused to let him hold office for the term he won. Bill did not contest the decision, but media including The Daily Southtown, a suburban Chicago newspaper, and included editorials in his favor.
