The big Christmas program performances start tonight, so as I stated previously, I won’t be doing much blogging. Depending on what the county decides about the museum thing or what the school board decides about the East Bluff school location, I may not be able to keep from commenting a little, but for the most part, blogging will be light.
There may be a guest editorial soon, however, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, feel free to use this as an open thread to talk about whatever you’d like.
Please take a time to voice your opinion regarding the Peoria Downtown Museum. Someone has started a petition …… as seen as a link at the PJStar website today.

Karrie, I don’t understand what position the “petition” is taking, or if if it is a poll or a petition. I support the museum, but oppose funding it through taxes, particularly property taxes. If it cannot be funded without taxes, then the project should be redesigned/abandoned.
Mouse: This is my take. Someone created a petition to let taxpayers sound off about being willing toor not willing to support funding the museum with taxpayer dollars.
When you click on the link below

The language of the petition reads ….
“Jim Richerson, president and CEO of Lakeview Museum says only 20% of Peorians are against a downtown museum. The real question is do taxpayers want to fund this museum or leave it at the current site. This is in no way a scientific poll but it will give an idea of the support, or lack of, for taxpayers funding this museum.”
Also, the tab at the top of the webpage — signatures —- let’s you view the responses.
Hope that helps.
Somehow the link does not work — here it is again …
