Gary Mathews, the great developer of the new hotel downtown must have nude and lewd photos of members of the city council. What else can explain the repeated deadlines on the new hotel in downtown Peoria that the council is going to grant on the 24th of January? I mean when this first took place and a the deal was sealed, Ryan Spain said that we must move swiftly and that was December 2008!
I mean what else can it be? Nobody can be this stupid with public funds and keep on signing on to this deal after delay after delay. No one could be this stupid with public funds after the prime developer has been slapped with fines for not paying on his other projects, No one could be this stupid to offer prime city lot to a strip club owner at a 1/3 of the going price so we can make way for this great hotel. Nobody could be that stupid to close down the Pere Marquette and not have a signed agreement in hand to start construction.
So it must be nude and lewd photos right? What else could explain this extreme devotion to a developer on a project apparently banks won’t even touch but our city council can’t wait to issue bonds so we taxpayers can be on the hook?
No governing body could be this gullible and this stupid right? 2012 and still no financing, still no paper work, still no construction, still no jobs, and yet this council is considering another extension to February 29th? (Ironic on a day that doesn’t exist but once every 4 years)
No….nobody is that frickin stupid. Show us the pictures Gary!!
Need a simpler analogy? Remember those machines at the fair where you put a quarter in and you got one chance to move the claw over the prize and drop it and as always the claw wouldn’t pick up the prize or drop it before you could get it over the chute? So, you stood there (if you are our city council) and fed quarter after quarter into the machine and never ever get that stuffed monkey. Well that is what this council is doing. Stuffing our money into the developer machine and we will never see the stuffed monkey.

You made my day!! I saw this information last night and waited with bated breath for you to let them have it, and let them have it you did! WTF! I have got to get my house ready to sell and pray there is a buyer. Between the crime and the idiot city council, can tax payers get out of this city fast enough?
This outrage is so unbelievable as to seem surreal and you have clarified it so very perfectly: what exactly is the underlying control/manipulation to incur such blatant disregard for business 'N council accountability and responsibility?! It is inconceivable to expect citizens to accept these irrational decisions.
Moss Bradley's pin up girl, BVA...
Does anyone have a firm number of those left unemployed (just before Christmas) when the Pere *had* to close for "renovations"?
Oh, and Anonymous #1---please consider moving to Chillicothe. No grandiose hotel plans, but we just added another officer to our police force! ;-)
