November unemployment rises for most Illinois counties - LaSalle News Tribune - LaSalle, IL
And the answer to the problem is??
We now are involved in more economic development groups in which many La Salle cities are footing the bill? As stated in this news bit, are we just feeding the people involved in this while gaining little if anything for the people paying the bill?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Thank you for continuing to support the Peru Town Forum during the last few years. More to come as more develops. I did visit the Peru Airport this evening to view the Christmas decorations and they are really very nice but I wonder how many people will take the trip up to the airport, I think the displays really do belong in an area that people will be able to easily drive by. Saw one care leaving when we arrived and one coming in as we left. There would surely be a lot of confusion if there were many visitors at one time as I did not see a designated turn around location.

Increased taxation
Do you believe our city is wisely utilizing the money they are currently taking in. Are salaries inflated for some? Frivilous expenditures at Christmas? Aka known as decorate our city hall interior and for whom and at what cost? As previously written about, how will fewer taxpaying citizens be able to fund the rising pension costs at the cost of reducing their own standard of living? I continue to hear about rising sales tax revenue, where is it being spent?
I know that in comparison to the suburbs and city of Chicago, our taxation is low but then so are most wages in the area for the average family and average retiree less.

Crews check ravine before cleanup of 1890s site - LaSalle News Tribune - LaSalle, IL
This is interesting but I wonder what brought on the investigation of the property. The business being looked into dates to the 1890's?? On the border of La Salle and Peru in a ravine area where the border between the 2 cities exists and adjacent to the former Westclox factory. i do remember the huge sign about a coal company being located near to Rte 6 Union 74 sign.
And see a new business locating in the strip mall on Peoria between 7th and 8th street next to Susy's. Groceries??
