Word on the Street reveals that Bradley University’s “Institute for Principled Leadership [IPL] in Public Service” helped launched a rather unconventional City-County collaboration effort. In a surprising break from traditional negotiation, they didn’t tell the County Board anything about the endeavor. This simplified discussions considerably and was, by all accounts, non-confrontational. But the plan backfired when County Board members found out about it through the media. Rumor is that IPL will now have to resort to Plan B: communicating with all parties.
In a further effort to send mixed signals, they’ve dubbed the effort “PASS.” Yes. It’s an acronym that stands for “Peoria Area Shared Services.” (Here’s hoping Galesburg doesn’t attempt a similar acronym in their efforts to share services with Knox County.) IPL is now hoping that the County won’t pass on PASS after the PASS faux pas.
Same mo used for the museum …. perhaps ‘cuz it’s the same people involved?
“…‘cuz it’s the same people involved…”
Funny how it always seems to turn out that way.
Principled – honorable, righteous, ethical, just, moral, transparent
Leadership – guidance, management
The City of Peoria
I see a disconnect here?
The IPL will only provide support the PASS Forward, as reported in the PJStar. Research and admin support will come from Bradley students. The IPL did NOT launch PASS Forward.
We all know there is nothing principled about the people who run IPL
Kris — Thanks for the clarification/correction.
