Petitions Available for Elected Positions So Far Incumbents Like Their Jobs

According to a N.T. article 9 people have signed to pick up petitions packets for the election in April.

First Ward incumbent Tony Ferari and newly chosen Aldermen who is now considered an incumbent have  signed for petitions.  Jim Lilley who was not chosen has also applied for a First Ward aldermanic petition.

Additionally it is more of the same here in Peru, City Clerk Dave Bartley, Ald. Mike Radtke, Ald. Jim Lukosus, recently appointed City Treasurer Jackson Powell and surprise surprise Mayor Scott Harl.  Why do I remember him saying when he first won the mayoral election that 2 terms would be enough?  Maybe he meant that is what the residents would be saying.

First Ward Aldermanic Seat Hopefuls

James Giordano, Patricia Leynaud, Jeff Ballard, James Lilley.

Giordano was a candidate for Mayor at the previous election. Not sure why because he became the reason that many complained that only 2 should be allowed to run for that seat. A plant I don't know.

Jeff Ballard is a familiar name and wonder if he was previously a candidate for that first ward seat.  Anyone remember?

James Lilley, a newcomer but frequent visitor to Peru City Council meetings.

Patricia Leynaud, I don't know.

No comments please as it is not necessary to get up in arms about learning about candidates for the Presidency.  I am well aware of the political discourse and how it revolves about Dems. versus Repubs. This piece is simply written and not by me but simply brings to the forefront the need for better discussions among us, the citizens of the U.S.  This election is getting downright ugly and I am simply trying to show there can be another side beside nastiness.
