“It doesn’t take a majority to win, just a tireless minority that will keep starting brush fires in the mind and hearts of their fellow men.” Samuel Adams
Well over 100 years ago Peru was moved north from Water Street to Fourth Street because of flooding and the opportunity to develop both sides of the street. Unfortunately Mother Nature has sent us a nasty reminder,which makes a person wonder why city government wants to develop a city park over a former site of a electric plant which recently had been know to have spilled mercury exposed, with electrical equipment on one side a city dump on the other, railroad tracks to the front and back and a river with a immediate drop off south of the tracks. What action has the EPA taken in regards to this potential health hazard or has it ever been questioned? It has not been that many years ago that Electrical Utilities had to be decontaminated.What is the difference between Electrical Utilities and the Peru Electrical Plant in regards to environmental safety? It should be remembered that city officials had to go three deep before they could finish demolition of the electric plant and it appears that a quick cover up of existing landscape was processed. How much of this landscape remains today April 19, 2013.
Regarding the sandbagging work and the mayoral photo, he was accompanied by 2 current aldermen, Radtke and Lukosus and by 2 newly elected aldermen Mueller and Sapienza. Now tell me did the others come at different times, were they asked or not? Were all aldermen treated equally?

Is the WWTP flooded
Lots of power plamt soils washing away. Sometimes that washes away things , sometimes it brings them to the surface.
