Council Roundup: The big issue that disappeared

Well, I’m sure I’ll read about this in tomorrow’s paper, but the issue I was waiting for inexplicably disappeared tonight.  Crusens had asked to deannex the former Hunts property from the City of Peoria so it could be annexed by West Peoria.  This makes sense since they’re contiguous and would most likely be used for one business, Crusen’s bar, which is located on the West Peoria side.

However, they sent a letter requesting their petition for deannexation be withdrawn.  Without any further explanation, the issue was gone.  Poof!  That didn’t stop Councilman Morris from babbling about his opposition to deannexation anyway.Â
