MINONKTALK Illinois Primary Tuesday Ready to Vote?

editor


I don't remember any election that has been so ugly and really has Americans upset and it doesn't look as if there will be much to be happy about. I to myself I keep saying "Is this the best the USA can offer to us?"

And I have certainly found out how little many Americans know Little about how the government works, they know little about the separation of powers and believe one man the President can fix it all.  I keep saying that somehow our educational system has failed us?

Groundbreaking planned for inclusive playground

Groundbreaking planned for inclusive playground



This is great for the disabled kids in Ottawa and certainly a forward looking project. Why am I posting Ottawa news . it is because "parks are one of my pet peeves" because it seems like we in Peru are always playing catch up with activities and thinking outside the box.

We are very much involved in boys and girls baseball and soccer and have those activities covered well but others.......

Are You Angry?

All day and night long the commentators are talking about angry people. Never tell me what they are angry about unless it is the usual lack of jobs and economic opportunity and lack of feeling of safety are 2 that I think of right off the bat. Are you angry?

Tell me why and how do we solve the problem. Government is very complex and i realize that and if you live in Illinois you realize it more than most other places. If we can make our community and state honest and trustworthy, it seems like that is a start and the best place for people to learn how government works.

Primaries in Illinois are March 15, are you ready to vote for different people and/or different parties?
