East Bluff investment

A major investment to the East Bluff, especially for the Wisconsin corridor, could be coming soon from the Peoria City Council. A Live report at 5 and 6 pm from the Glen Oak Learning Center tonight on WMBD News. (And yes, I'll be out there behind the camera)

This money should go to pensions or the CSO.

Instead of investing in the improvement of streets and neighborhoods? I would think most Peorians would prefer that.

Needs vs. wants.

Whaaat!?! I thought it was your position to just walk on pension obligations and tell the Feds to scratch. Doesn't Federalism give the state the right to pollute their river. After all it is the Illinois River. Who better than to pollute it than the State of Illinois?

I don't believe I have ever stated my position on either of those issues. The pensions NEED to be funded and we NEED to keep sewage out of the river. We DON'T NEED extra investment in that part of town until more urgent matters are resolved.
