The Journal Star is reporting tonight that Peoria’s Historic Preservation Commission is not in favor of designating Glen Oak Park as an historic landmark, but is willing to consider landmarking some individual structures, such as the pavilion. That’s a reasonable approach. Designating the whole park as a landmark would be overreaching, in my opinion, [...] I’m reporting tonight from the studios of WCBU! Jonathan Ahl and Tanya Koonce were nice enough to let me hang out with them and let me blog from one of their computers. So, without further ado, and with 100% of precincts reporting, the results from Tuesday’s primary are as follows: Candidate Votes % 1 [...] I’ll be on WCBU tonight with Jonathan Ahl, first as a guest on “Outside the Horseshoe” at 6 p.m., and then in the studio to comment on the election results as updates are provided. Because of the cumulative voting system and low voter turnout, there’s no telling how things will shake out tonight. Who [...] Today is a primary election day. I voted this morning at about 8 a.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church which is the polling place for three or four precincts.

I didn’t pass [...] Here are my endorsements for the at-large City Council election tomorrow: Gary Sandberg — Gary does his homework, asks the hard questions, and votes consistently in favor of essential services first.

The latest filing was on February 14 — a Motion to [...] PeoriaIllinoisan did something that I had wanted to do but just don’t have time. He sent out his own questionnaire on city issues to all the candidates and has posted their responses on his blog. Take a look at what they said about: The Kellar Branch The Civic Center Hotel Glen Oak School Peoria’s [...] This will be my 94th post in the “Kellar Branch” category, and in all those previous posts I don’t believe I’ve ever once looked at the situation from the viewpoint of Peoria Heights. I suppose that makes me a typical Peorian. Back in the ’60s, right after Peoria’s successful vote to annex Richwoods township, [...] Today is the deadline for the City to file information with the Surface Transportation Board in the pending adverse discontinuance proceeding. The City filed their information this morning, basically just reiterating what was said at the last council meeting and informing the STB of the 9-2 vote in favor of CIRY as the carrier. [...] While the City Council, Park District, Journal Star, and Recreational Trail Advocates scoffed at the idea of putting a trolley on the Kellar Branch line, there’s one key player who thinks the idea has some merit: the mayor of Peoria Heights.
