I went to my neighborhood’s association meeting tonight.  Among other things, we had a presentation from a representative of Peoria Families Against Toxic Waste.  There’s plenty of information about this topic out there, but tonight they handed out a letter written by Bill Cook, Professor of Chemistry at Illinois Central College, that I hadn’t seen before and was quite interesting.  I reprint it here to kick off the first of what will probably be several posts about PDC’s plans to expand their landfill.  Here it is: Continue reading This won’t be the last post on Toxic Waste →

City of Peoria, Television

“Inside the City” debut scheduled for March 2nd

I just received the following announcement from Alma Brown, Public Information Officer for the City of Peoria:

Dear Neighborhood Associations,

Inside The City is a new 30-minute talk show that will begin to air on cable channel 22 on March 2nd at 6:30 p.m.

This show will give the City an opportunity provide citizens with information about issues and programs.

I also want to use this time to also give neighborhood associations an opportunity to highlight events or programs.  Please let me know if you are interested in being interviewed for the show by sending me an e-mail.  Please include all of your event information so that it can be displayed during the show.

I would also like to encourage you to send me letters that you would like to have read during the program.

If you should have any questions, please let me know.

Alma
