Remember when I called up Bonnie Noble because I was surprised that the Park District came out in favor of the proposed PDC landfill expansion? Well, apparently, I wasn’t the only one who was surprised by that — so was the Park Board.
The Journal Star today reports that Noble’s letter, even though it was on Park District letterhead, did not reflect the park district’s view:
The Park Board voted at its Feb. 22 meeting not to take a position on the proposed landfill expansion. Trustee Jim Cummings said then that Noble’s letter doesn’t represent the official position of the park district.
That actually makes me feel better about the park district as a whole. If Noble wants to express her own opinion, that’s fine — she made some interesting points. However, to print her personal feelings on park district letterhead misrepresents the Park Board to Peoria County.
I hope county board members are aware that Noble’s letter is not a park district endorsement of the landfill expansion.
(P.S. In the category of “things that may be of interest to other bloggers,” my blog was actually quoted in this Journal Star story. Â If they’re reading my little opinion columns, you can bet they’re reading other Peoria bloggers, and it’s gratifying to know they’re listening to us.)
“Noble’s letter, even though it was on Park District letterhead, did not reflect the park district’s view:”
That’s about as much horse puckey as Debbie Adlof naming her blog “CW Notes” and then claiming it had no connection with the Community Word.
Argh!
If Vonster would read the banner at the top of the blog CW Notes, he would see this
“The Community Word is a monthly newspaper serving the neighborhoods of Peoria, Illinois. CW Notes will serve as a tool to be used to cover issues that fall “in between” issues of that paper or to further expand on an issue already covered.”
So, obviously it does indeed have connections with the Community Word.
To quote blogfather PeoriaPundit: “wrong again.”
