She has long been a proponent of removing freight rail access on the Kellar Branch and converting the corridor to a hiking/biking trail. On February 6 of this year, she wrote a letter to the Journal Star again opposing train service [...] Well, I just tried to contact my County Board member, James Thomas, based on the info on the Peoria County website and received the following response: Your message To: jthomas@icc.edu Subject: County Public Safety Tax Sent: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 11:41:41 -0600 did not reach the following recipient(s): jthomas@icc.edu on Wed, 28 Mar [...] Anyone in Peoria’s third district who read the Pekin Times’ or Peoria Journal Star’s story on Daryl Dagit’s resignation from the Pekin City Council may have had a sinking feeling in their stomach: During [Monday's council] meeting, Dagit explained the reason for his leaving.
