The City manager, (how much is wasted on this guy’s salary?) now says the city may not have to lay off 50 people come budget crunch.
Let's review. They have laid off over 30 cops and crime in Peoria is out of hand. Hell it’s out everywhere. They are breaking in people’s homes, robbing you while taking the garbage out ( and the city wants you now to rent a big garbage container on wheels, that way you’ll have a hand free to give up your wallet), they are robbing gas stations and businesses with such frequency, that a business could post a sign saying: “It’s been 28 days since our last robbery!”
The streets need repairs but money is limited. We are trying a guy right now in court that stabbed a woman, strangled her, dragged her body to an alley, punch her baby granddaughter in the head and left it for dead in a puddle and the prosecutor calls it evil in Peoria. This guy was convicted of murder in Chicago 1987 and he’s out? Bullet to head, flush twice, taxpayer money saved. A piece of shit is a piece of shit.
So….we might not have to lay off 50 people, maybe only 47 or maybe 40? Meanwhile, we give a shady developer $7 million from the retiree benefits for the City of Peoria plus $9 million more once the project is done to satisfy what? Tri-Con? The laborers? A bunch of suits who drink and party together?
Makes no sense. Only need one parking place at city hall for our council because you can pack many into a clown car. Besides, the rest of the parking places at 419 Fulton are needed for service trucks to replace glass at the Civic Center from bullet holes.

This is indeed so very true in everything! These murderers out free is unfathomable, plus dealing with "a shady developer" as well as the crime 'N police/fire personnel crisis! Your post should be on the front page of the paper versus an idiotic portrayal of Willie York! Peoria is going downhill with accelerating speed! You have said it all and said it well! How can they come up with these ideas and decisions??!!
An addendum to my prior comment to mention the inflated salaries while whining about financial shortage. I wonder if the parameters have been changed that allow a position available where someone can work a brief time and quickly/unexpectedly quit and walk away with a HUGE financial package??!! Can we wonder why road repair, snow removal, etc. ad infinitum is compromised?!?!
Right on target, PAP! Please run for city council. We need you!
I will "second" the posting by Anonymous above: great idea indeed! How about mayor and right on up the line!!!
don't forget as they are laying off staff and ushering even more out the door with the early retirement, due to finances, the city is HIRING a position to monitor the hotel project. So, $26 million in tax funded "grant", $7 million robbed from the retirement fund for a "loan" and a full time staff member to babysit as that is more important than public safety. Last night, note the $3.8 million in city tax dollars along with all the state and federal money is going to warehouse district. I will commend the three councilmembers who brought up public safety as a "primary concern". approximately 90 seconds among the three was spent after the hours and days pet project funding discussion.
this shows where public safety actually is on the minds of council members.
I believe the mob used Teamster retiree benefits to finance hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, our mayor is usiing retiree benefits to finance a hotel in Peoria
